[PATCH] drivers/perf: arm_spe: Use perf_allow_kernel() for permissions

[James Clark <james.clark@linaro.org>]

For other PMUs, PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR requires perf_allow_kernel()
rather than just perfmon_capable(). Because PMSCR_EL1_PA is another form
of physical address, make it consistent and use perf_allow_kernel() for
SPE as well. PMSCR_EL1_PCT and PMSCR_EL1_CX also get the same change.

This improves consistency and 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 ...
