[PATCH v2 3/4] perf: Use CAP_SYSLOG with kptr_restrict checks

[Igor Lubashev]

Kernel is using CAP_SYSLOG capability instead of uid==0 and euid==0 when
checking kptr_restrict. Make perf do the same.

Also, the kernel is a more restrictive than "no restrictions" in case of
kptr_restrict==0, so add the same logic to perf.
