perf test: Remove atomics from test_loop to avoid test failures

[ Upstream commit 72b4ca7e993e94f09bcf6d19fc385a2e8060c71f ]

The current use of atomics can lead to test failures, as tests (such as
tests/shell/record.sh) search for samples with "test_loop" as the
top-most stack frame, but find frames related to the atomic operation
(e.g. __aarch64_ldadd4_relax).

This change simply removes the "count" variable, as it is not necessary.

Fixes: 1962ab6f6e0b39e4 ("perf test workload thloop: Make count increments atomic")
