perf bench: Add futex-requeue microbenchmark

Block a bunch of threads on a futex and requeue them on another, N at a
time.

This program is particularly useful to measure the latency of nthread
requeues without waking up any tasks -- thus mimicking a regular
futex_wait.

An example run:

  $ perf bench futex requeue -r 100 -t 64
  Run summary [PID 151011]: Requeuing 64 threads (from 0x7d15c4 to 0x7d15c8), 1 at a time.

  [Run 1]: Requeued 64 of 64 threads in 0.0400 ms
  [Run 2]: Requeued 64 of 64 threads in 0.0390 ms
  [Run 3]: Requeued 64 of 64 threads in 0.0400 ms
  ...
  [Run 100]: Requeued 64 of 64 threads in 0.0390 ms
  Requeued 64 of 64 threads in 0.0399 ms (+-0.37%)
