perf test: Fix wrong size expectation for 'Setup struct perf_event_attr'
[ Upstream commit 30df88a80f32ccca5c5cdcf2710d1fb2de5e314d ]
The test case "perf test 'Setup struct perf_event_attr'" is failing.
On s390 this output is observed:
# ./perf test -Fvvvv 17
17: Setup struct perf_event_attr :

FAILED './tests/attr/test-stat-C0' - match failure
This mismatch is caused by
commit 09519ec3b19e ("perf: Add perf_event_attr::config3")
which enlarges the structure perf_event_attr by 8 bytes.
Fix this by adjusting the expected value of size.
Output after:
# ./perf test -Fvvvv 17
