[PATCH] perf/bench: Fix perf bench syscall XXXX loop count

[Thomas Richter <tmricht@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Command 'perf bench syscall fork -l 100000' offers option
-l to run for a specified number of iterations. However this
option is not always observed. The number is silently limited to
10000 iterations as can be seen:

Output before:
 # perf bench syscall fork -l 100000
 # Running 'syscall/fork' benchmark:
 # Executed 10,000 fork() calls
     Total time: 23.388 [sec]

    2338.809800 usecs/op
            427 ops/sec
 #

When explicitly specified with option -l or --loops, also observe
higher number of iterations:

Output after:
 # perf bench syscall fork -l 100000
 # Running 'syscall/fork' benchmark:
 # Executed 100,000 fork() calls
     Total time: 716.982 [sec]

    7169.829510 usecs/op
            139 ops/sec
 #

This patch fixes the issue for basic execve fork and getpgid.
