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.

Committer testing:

  # perf bench
  Usage:
	perf bench [<common options>] <collection> <benchmark> [<options>]

        # List of all available benchmark collections:

         sched: Scheduler and IPC benchmarks
           mem: Memory access benchmarks
          numa: NUMA scheduling and MM benchmarks
         futex: Futex stressing benchmarks
         epoll: Epoll stressing benchmarks
           all: All benchmarks

  # perf bench epoll

        # List of available benchmarks for collection 'epoll':

          wait: Benchmark epoll concurrent epoll_waits
           all: Run all futex benchmarks

  # perf bench epoll wait
  # Running 'epoll/wait' benchmark:
  Run summary [PID 19295]: 3 threads monitoring on 64 file-descriptors for 8 secs.

  [thread  0] fdmap: 0xdaa650 ... 0xdaa74c [ 328241 ops/sec ]
  [thread  1] fdmap: 0xdaa900 ... 0xdaa9fc [ 351695 ops/sec ]
  [thread  2] fdmap: 0xdaabb0 ... 0xdaacac [ 381423 ops/sec ]

  Averaged 353786 operations/sec (+- 4.35%), total secs = 8

Fix the build on debian:experimental-x-mips, debian:experimental-x-mipsel
and others:

[ Applied above fixup as per Davidlohr's request ]
[ Use inttypes.h to print rlim_t fields, fixing the build on Alpine Linux / musl libc ]
[ Check if eventfd() is available, i.e. if HAVE_EVENTFD is defined ]
