perf bench: Add epoll parallel epoll_wait benchmark
This program benchmarks concurrent epoll_wait(2) for file descriptors that are monitored with with EPOLLIN along various semantics, by a single epoll instance. Such conditions can be found when using single/combined or multiple queuing when load balancing. Each thread has a number of private, nonblocking file descriptors, referred to as fdmap. A writer thread will constantly be writing to the fdmaps of all threads, minimizing each threads's chances of epoll_wait not finding any ready read events and blocking as this is not what we want to stress. Full details in the start of the C file.

+ * Copyright (C) 2018 Davidlohr Bueso.
+ *
+ * This program benchmarks concurrent epoll_wait(2) monitoring multiple
+ * file descriptors under one or two load balancing models. The first,
+ * and default, is the single/combined queueing (which refers to a single
+ * epoll instance for N worker threads):
+ *
+ * |---> [worker A]
+ * |---> [worker B]
+ * [combined queue] .---> [worker C]
+ * |---> [worker D]
+ * |---> [worker E]
+ *
+ * While the second model, enabled via --multiq option, uses multiple
+ * queueing (which refers to one epoll instance per worker). For example,
+ * short lived tcp connections in a high throughput httpd server will
+ * ditribute the accept()'ing connections across CPUs. In this case each
+ * worker does a limited amount of processing.
+ *
+ * [queue A] ---> [worker]
+ * [queue B] ---> [worker]
+ * [queue C] ---> [worker]
+ * [queue D] ---> [worker]
+ * [queue E] ---> [worker]
+ *
+ * Naturally, the single queue will enforce more concurrency on the epoll
+ * instance, and can therefore scale poorly compared to multiple queues.
+ * However, this is a benchmark raw data and must be taken with a grain of
+ * salt when choosing how to make use of sys_epoll.
+
+ * Each thread has a number of private, nonblocking file descriptors,
+ * referred to as fdmap. A writer thread will constantly be writing to
+ * the fdmaps of all threads, minimizing each threads's chances of
+ * epoll_wait not finding any ready read events and blocking as this
+ * is not what we want to stress. The size of the fdmap can be adjusted
+ * by the user; enlarging the value will increase the chances of
+ * epoll_wait(2) blocking as the lineal writer thread will take "longer",
+ * at least at a high level.
+ *
+ * Note that because fds are private to each thread, this workload does
+ * not stress scenarios where multiple tasks are awoken per ready IO; ie:
+ * EPOLLEXCLUSIVE semantics.
+ *
+ * The end result/metric is throughput: number of ops/second where an
+ * operation consists of:
+ *
+ * epoll_wait(2) + [others]
+ *
+ * ... where [others] is the cost of re-adding the fd (EPOLLET),
+ * or rearming it (EPOLLONESHOT).
+ *
+ *
+ * The purpose of this is program is that it be useful for measuring
+ * kernel related changes to the sys_epoll, and not comparing different
+ * IO polling methods, for example. Hence everything is very adhoc and
+ * outputs raw microbenchmark numbers. Also this uses eventfd, similar
+ * tools tend to use pipes or sockets, but the result is the same.
