[ 06/26] perf/x86/intel/lbr: Demand proper privileges for PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_KERNEL

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>

commit 7cc23cd6c0c7d7f4bee057607e7ce01568925717 upstream.

We should always have proper privileges when requesting kernel
data.
