selftests/bpf: Fix test_progs send_signal flakiness with nmi mode
Alexei observed that test_progs send_signal may fail if run with command line "./test_progs" and the tests will pass if just run "./test_progs -n 40". I observed similar issue with nmi subtest failure and added a delay 100 us in Commit ab8b7f0cb358 ("tools/bpf: Add self tests for bpf_send_signal_thread()") and the problem is gone for me. But the issue still exists in Alexei's testing environment. The current code uses sample_freq = 50 (50 events/second), which may not be enough. But if the sample_freq value is larger than sysctl kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate, the perf_event_open syscall will fail. This patch changed nmi perf testing to use sample_period = 1, which means trying to sampling every event. This seems fixing the issue.
