Subject: [PATCH][next] drm/i915/pmu: fix sizeof on attr, should be *attr

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

I believe the sizeof(attr) should be in fact sizeof(*attr), fortunately
the current code works because sizeof(struct attribute **) is the same
as sizeof(struct attribute *) for x86.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1463854 ("Sizeof not portable")

Fixes: 109ec558370f ("drm/i915/pmu: Only enumerate available counters in sysfs")
