perf test: Add 'sqrtloop' test workload The sqrtloop creates a child process to run an infinite loop calling sqrt() with rand(). This is needed for ARM SPE fork test. $ perf test -w sqrtloop It can take an optional argument to specify how long it will run in seconds (default: 1). Committer notes: Explicitely ignored the sqrt() return to fix the build on systems where the compiler complains it isn't being used. And added a sqrtloop specific CFLAGS to disable optimizations to make this a bit more robust wrt dead code elimination. Doing that a -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE needs to be added, as -O0 is incompatible with it.
