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().

perf tools: cleanup initialization of attr->size
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().
