[PATCH] perf: treat attr.config as u64 in perf_swevent_init()

[Tommi Rantala]

Trinity discovered that we fail to check all 64 bits of attr.config
passed by user space, resulting to out-of-bounds access of the
perf_swevent_enabled array in sw_perf_event_destroy().

Introduced in commit b0a873ebb ("perf: Register PMU implementations").
