[PATCH] perf: cleanup initialization of attr->size

[Stephane Eranian]

The perf_event_attr size needs to be initialized
in all cases because it captures the ABI version.

This patch moves the initialization of the field
from the perf_event_open() syscall stub to its proper
location in the event_attr_init().
