x86/intel_rdt: Fix locking in rdtgroup_schemata_write()

The schemata lock is released before freeing the resource's temporary
tmp_cbms allocation. That's racy versus another write which allocates and
uses new temporary storage, resulting in memory leaks, freeing in use
memory, double a free or any combination of those.

Move the unlock after the release code.
