perf bench sched: Add --threaded option

Allow the measurement of thread versus process context switch
performance.

The default stays at 'process' based measurement, like lmbench's lat_ctx
benchmark.

Sample output:

 comet:~/tip/tools/perf> taskset 1 ./perf bench sched pipe
 # Running sched/pipe benchmark...
 # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

     Total time: 4.138 [sec]

       4.138729 usecs/op
         241620 ops/sec
 comet:~/tip/tools/perf> taskset 1 ./perf bench sched pipe --threaded
 # Running sched/pipe benchmark...
 # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two threads

     Total time: 3.667 [sec]

       3.667667 usecs/op
         272652 ops/sec
