Dave Marchevsky 2b4b2621fd selftests/bpf: Add benchmark for local_storage RCU Tasks Trace usage
This benchmark measures grace period latency and kthread cpu usage of
RCU Tasks Trace when many processes are creating/deleting BPF
local_storage. Intent here is to quantify improvement on these metrics
after Paul's recent RCU Tasks patches [0].

Specifically, fork 15k tasks which call a bpf prog that creates/destroys
task local_storage and sleep in a loop, resulting in many
call_rcu_tasks_trace calls.

To determine grace period latency, trace time elapsed between
rcu_tasks_trace_pregp_step and rcu_tasks_trace_postgp; for cpu usage
look at rcu_task_trace_kthread's stime in /proc/PID/stat.

On my virtualized test environment (Skylake, 8 cpus) benchmark results
demonstrate significant improvement:

BEFORE Paul's patches:

  SUMMARY tasks_trace grace period latency        avg 22298.551 us stddev 1302.165 us
  SUMMARY ticks per tasks_trace grace period      avg 2.291 stddev 0.324

AFTER Paul's patches:

  SUMMARY tasks_trace grace period latency        avg 16969.197 us  stddev 2525.053 us
  SUMMARY ticks per tasks_trace grace period      avg 1.146 stddev 0.178

Note that since these patches are not in bpf-next benchmarking was done
by cherry-picking this patch onto rcu tree.
