[PATCH v2 4/7] drm/i915/perf: open access for CAP_SYS_PERFMON privileged process

[Alexey Budankov]

Open access to i915_perf monitoring for CAP_SYS_PERFMON privileged processes.
For backward compatibility reasons access to i915_perf subsystem remains open
for CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileged processes but CAP_SYS_ADMIN usage for secure
i915_perf monitoring is discouraged with respect to CAP_SYS_PERFMON capability.
