perf_counter: Allow mmap if paranoid checks are turned off

Before:

  $ perf sched record -f sleep 1
  Error: failed to mmap with 1 (Operation not permitted)

After:

  $ perf sched record -f sleep 1
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.095 MB perf.data (~4161 samples) ]

Note, this is only allowed if perfcounter_paranoid is set to
the most permissive (non-default) value of -1.
