rtla/timerlat_top: Add timerlat user-space support

Browse source 
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.
