drivers/perf: arm_spe: Use perf_allow_kernel() for permissions
Use perf_allow_kernel() for 'pa_enable' (physical addresses),
'pct_enable' (physical timestamps) and context IDs. This means that
perf_event_paranoid is now taken into account and LSM hooks can be used,
which is more consistent with other perf_event_open calls. For example
PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR uses perf_allow_kernel() rather than just
perfmon_capable().
This also indirectly fixes the following error message which is
misleading because perf_event_paranoid is not taken into account by
perfmon_capable():
$ perf record -e arm_spe/pa_enable/
Error:
Access to performance monitoring and observability operations is
limited. Consider adjusting /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
setting ...
