perf/core: Check kernel access when kernel callchains are requested
perf_event_open() currently gates perf_allow_kernel() only on
!attr.exclude_kernel.
However, users can still request kernel callchain collection with
attr.exclude_callchain_kernel == 0 even when attr.exclude_kernel == 1.
That still requires kernel profiling privilege, but the existing check
does not enforce it.
Update the permission check to call perf_allow_kernel() when either
kernel sampling is requested or kernel callchains are requested.
This keeps permission checks aligned with requested data and prevents
unprivileged use of kernel callchain capture.
