The sqrtloop creates a child process to run an infinite loop calling
sqrt() with rand().  This is needed for ARM SPE fork test.

  $ perf test -w sqrtloop

It can take an optional argument to specify how long it will run in
seconds (default: 1).

Committer notes:

Explicitely ignored the sqrt() return to fix the build on systems where
the compiler complains it isn't being used.

And added a sqrtloop specific CFLAGS to disable optimizations to make
this a bit more robust wrt dead code elimination.

Doing that a -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE needs to be added, as -O0 is incompatible
with it.
