The musl-libc [1] defines (struct timeval).tv_sec as a 'long long' for
arm and other architectures. The default build having a '-Wformat' flag,
not casting the field when printing prevents from building perf.
This patch casts the (struct timeval).tv_sec fields to the expected
format.

The usefulness of having a standard way of testing syscall performance
has come up from time to time[0]. Furthermore, some of our testing
machinery (such as 'mmtests') already makes use of a simplified version
of the microbenchmark. This patch mainly takes the same idea to measure
syscall throughput compatible with 'perf-bench' via getppid(2), yet
without any of the additional template stuff from Ingo's version (based
on numa.c). The code is identical to what mmtests uses.

Committer notes:
Add mising stdlib.h and unistd.h to get the prototypes for exit() and
getppid().
