[linux-next,1/2] perf: Remove unnecessary parameter of security check

Commit Message

Luo Gengkun Dec. 23, 2024, 7:06 a.m. UTC

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.
