Subject: [PATCH 2/2] bfp tools: Fix syscall argument

Coverity flagged this under CID 1354884 as a sizeof mismatch, it turns
out that the argument "attr" passed to syscall should have been a
pointer to attr in the first place.

Reported-by: coverity (CID 1354884)
Fixes: 8f9e05fb298f ("perf tools: Fix PowerPC native building")
