Subject: [PATCH v5 05/10] drm/i915/perf: open access for CAP_PERFMON
 privileged process


Open access to i915_perf monitoring for CAP_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_PERFMON
capability. Providing the access under CAP_PERFMON capability singly,
without the rest of CAP_SYS_ADMIN credentials, excludes chances to misuse
the credentials and makes operations more secure.
