A single fix for the x86 perf sysfs interfaces which used kobject
attributes instead of device attributes and therefore making Clangs control
flow integrity checker upset.
perf/x86: fix sysfs type mismatches
This change switches rapl to use PMU_FORMAT_ATTR, and fixes two other
macros to use device_attribute instead of kobj_attribute to avoid
callback type mismatches that trip indirect call checking with Clang's
Control-Flow Integrity (CFI).
