Daniel Bristot de Oliveira e8c44d3b71 rtla/timerlat: Do not stop user-space if a cpu is offline 
If no CPU list is passed, timerlat in user-space will dispatch
one thread per sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF). However, not all
CPU might be available, for instance, if HT is disabled.

Currently, rtla timerlat is stopping the session if an user-space
thread cannot set affinity to a CPU, or if a running user-space
thread is killed. However, this is too restrictive.

So, reduce the error to a debug message, and rtla timerlat run as
long as there is at least one user-space thread alive.

Daniel Bristot de Oliveira cdca4f4e5e 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

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