Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the security tree

Hi all,

After merging the security tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

arch/x86/events/amd/ibs.c: In function 'perf_ibs_handle_irq':
arch/x86/events/amd/ibs.c:1207:13: error: too many arguments to function 'perf_allow_kernel'
 1207 |             perf_allow_kernel(&event->attr)) {
      |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from arch/x86/events/amd/ibs.c:9:
include/linux/perf_event.h:1675:5: note: declared here
 1675 | int perf_allow_kernel(void);
      |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
