It seems that the attr parameter was never been used in security
checks since it was first introduced by:

commit da97e18458fb ("perf_event: Add support for LSM and SELinux checks")

so remove it.

This patch seems fine to me from a LSM and SELinux perspective, but
I'd want to see an ACK from the perf folks before I merge this.
A belated:

Patch still seems to apply fine.

Thanks,
