Introduce futexes to perf-bench and add a program that stresses and
measures the kernel's implementation of the hash table.
This is a multi-threaded program that simply measures the amount of
failed futex wait calls - we only want to deal with the hashing
overhead, so a negative return of futex_wait_setup() is enough to do the
trick.
An example run:
$ perf bench futex hash -t 32
Run summary [PID 10989]: 32 threads, each operating on 1024 [private] futexes for 10 secs.
