perf_counter: Fix perf_copy_attr() pointer arithmetic
There is still some weird code in per_copy_attr(). Which supposedly
checks that all bytes trailing a struct are zero.
It doesn't seem to get pointer arithmetic right. Since it
increments an iterating pointer by sizeof(unsigned long) rather
than 1.

[ v2: clean up the messy PTR_ALIGN logic as well. ]
