selftest/bpf/benchs: Add bpf_loop benchmark

Add benchmark to measure the throughput and latency of the bpf_loop
call.

Testing this on my dev machine on 1 thread, the data is as follows:

        nr_loops: 10
bpf_loop - throughput: 198.519 ± 0.155 M ops/s, latency: 5.037 ns/op

        nr_loops: 100
bpf_loop - throughput: 247.448 ± 0.305 M ops/s, latency: 4.041 ns/op

        nr_loops: 500
bpf_loop - throughput: 260.839 ± 0.380 M ops/s, latency: 3.834 ns/op

        nr_loops: 1000
bpf_loop - throughput: 262.806 ± 0.629 M ops/s, latency: 3.805 ns/op

        nr_loops: 5000
bpf_loop - throughput: 264.211 ± 1.508 M ops/s, latency: 3.785 ns/op

        nr_loops: 10000
bpf_loop - throughput: 265.366 ± 3.054 M ops/s, latency: 3.768 ns/op

        nr_loops: 50000
bpf_loop - throughput: 235.986 ± 20.205 M ops/s, latency: 4.238 ns/op

        nr_loops: 100000
bpf_loop - throughput: 264.482 ± 0.279 M ops/s, latency: 3.781 ns/op

        nr_loops: 500000
bpf_loop - throughput: 309.773 ± 87.713 M ops/s, latency: 3.228 ns/op

        nr_loops: 1000000
bpf_loop - throughput: 262.818 ± 4.143 M ops/s, latency: 3.805 ns/op

>From this data, we can see that the latency per loop decreases as the
number of loops increases. On this particular machine, each loop had an
overhead of about ~4 ns, and we were able to run ~250 million loops
per second.
