Add generic benchmark runner framework which simplifies writing various
performance benchmarks in a consistent fashion. This framework will be used
in follow up patches to test performance of perf buffer and ring buffer as
well.
Patch #1 adds generic runner implementation and atomic counter benchmarks to
validate benchmark runner's behavior.
Patch #2 implements test_overhead benchmark as part of bench runner. It also
add fmod_ret BPF program type to a set of benchmarks.
Patch #3 tests faster alternatives to set_task_comm() approach, tested in
test_overhead, in search for minimal-overhead way to trigger BPF program
execution from user-space on demand.

selftests/bpf: add benchmark runner infrastructure
selftest/bpf: fmod_ret prog and implement test_overhead as part of
bench
selftest/bpf: add BPF triggring benchmark
