Davidlohr Bueso 231457ec70 perf bench: Add epoll_ctl(2) benchmark
Benchmark the various operations allowed for epoll_ctl(2).  The idea is
to concurrently stress a single epoll instance doing add/mod/del
operations.

Committer testing:

  # perf bench epoll ctl
  # Running 'epoll/ctl' benchmark:
  Run summary [PID 20344]: 4 threads doing epoll_ctl ops 64 file-descriptors for 8 secs.

Lets measure those calls with 'perf trace' to get a glympse at what this
benchmark is doing in terms of syscalls:

  # perf trace -m32768 -s perf bench epoll ctl

=============
NAME
----
perf-bench - General framework for benchmark suites
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf bench' [<common options>] <subsystem> <suite> [<options>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This 'perf bench' command is a general framework for benchmark suites.
COMMON OPTIONS
--------------
-r::
--repeat=::
Specify amount of times to repeat the run (default 10).
-f::
--format=::
Specify format style.
Current available format styles are:
'default'::
Default style. This is mainly for human reading.
---------------------
% perf bench sched pipe # with no style specified
(executing 1000000 pipe operations between two tasks)
Total time:5.855 sec
5.855061 usecs/op
170792 ops/sec
---------------------
'simple'::
This simple style is friendly for automated
processing by scripts.
---------------------
% perf bench --format=simple sched pipe # specified simple
5.988
---------------------
SUBSYSTEM
---------
'sched'::
Scheduler and IPC mechanisms.
'mem'::
