rtla/timerlat_top: Add timerlat user-space support

Add the support for running timerlat threads in user-space. In this
mode, enabled with -u/--user-threads, timerlat dispatches user-space
processes that will loop in the timerlat_fd, measuring the overhead
for going to user-space and then returning to the kernel - in addition
to the existing measurements.

Here is one example of the tool's output with -u enabled:

  $ sudo timerlat top -u -d 600 -q
                                       Timer Latency
    0 00:10:01   |          IRQ Timer Latency (us)        |         Thread Timer Latency (us)      |    Ret user Timer Latency (us)
  CPU COUNT      |      cur       min       avg       max |      cur       min       avg       max |      cur       min       avg       max
    0 #600001    |        0         0         0         3 |        2         1         2         9 |        3         2         3        15
    1 #600001    |        0         0         0         2 |        2         1         2        13 |        2         2         3        18
    2 #600001    |        0         0         0        10 |        2         1         2        16 |        3         2         3        20
    3 #600001    |        0         0         0         7 |        2         1         2        10 |        3         2         3        11
    4 #600000    |        0         0         0        16 |        2         1         2        41 |        3         2         3        58
    5 #600000    |        0         0         0         3 |        2         1         2        10 |        3         2         3        13
    6 #600000    |        0         0         0         5 |        2         1         2         7 |        3         2         3        10
    7 #600000    |        0         0         0         1 |        2         1         2         7 |        3         2         3        10

The tuning setup like -p or -C work for the user-space threads as well.
