perf test: Remove atomics from test_loop to avoid test failures

The current use of atomics can lead to test failures, as tests (such as
tests/shell/record.sh) search for samples with "test_loop" as the
top-most stack frame, but find frames related to the atomic operation
(e.g. __aarch64_ldadd4_relax).

This change simply removes the "count" variable, as it is not necessary.

perf test workload thloop: Make count increments atomic

The count variable is incremented by multiple threads, doing so
without an atomic operation causes thread sanitizer warnings. Switch
to using relaxed atomics.

# 69b35292 16-Nov-2022 Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

perf test: Add 'thloop' test workload

The thloop is similar to noploop but runs in two threads. This is
needed to verify perf record --per-thread to handle multi-threaded
programs properly.

$ perf test -w thloop

It also takes an optional argument to specify runtime in seconds
(default: 1).
