selftests/bpf: Add timer stress test in NMI context
Add stress tests for BPF timers that run in NMI context using perf_event programs attached to PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES. The tests cover three scenarios: - nmi_race: Tests concurrent timer start and async cancel operations - nmi_update: Tests updating a map element (effectively deleting and inserting new for array map) from within a timer callback - nmi_cancel: Tests timer self-cancellation attempt. A common test_common() helper is used to share timer setup logic across all test modes. The tests spawn multiple threads in a child process to generate perf events, which trigger the BPF programs in NMI context. Hit counters verify that the NMI code paths were actually exercised.
