selftests/resctrl: Convert ctrlgrp & mongrp to pointers

The struct resctrl_val_param has control and monitor groups as char
arrays but they are not supposed to be mutated within resctrl_val().

Convert the ctrlgrp and mongrp char array within resctrl_val_param to
plain const char pointers and adjust the strlen() based checks to
check NULL instead.
