perf/amd/uncore: Fix sysfs type mismatch
[ Upstream commit 5deac80d4571dffb51f452f0027979d72259a1b9 ]
dev_attr_show() calls the __uncore_*_show() functions via an indirect
call but their type does not currently match the type of the show()
member in 'struct device_attribute', resulting in a Control Flow
Integrity violation.
$ cat /sys/devices/amd_l3/format/umask
config:8-15
$ dmesg | grep "CFI failure"
[ 1258.174653] CFI failure (target: __uncore_umask_show...):
Update the type in the DEFINE_UNCORE_FORMAT_ATTR macro to match
'struct device_attribute' so that there is no more CFI violation.
