rtla/timerlat_hist: 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  hist -u -c 1-3 -d 600
  # RTLA timerlat histogram
  # Time unit is microseconds (us)
  # Duration:   0 00:10:01

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