    perf_counter: Allow mmap if paranoid checks are turned off · 459ec28a

    Before:
    
      $ perf sched record -f sleep 1
      Error: failed to mmap with 1 (Operation not permitted)
    
    After:
    
      $ perf sched record -f sleep 1
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.095 MB perf.data (~4161 samples) ]
    
    Note, this is only allowed if perfcounter_paranoid is set to
    the most permissive (non-default) value of -1.
