tests: latency_measure: Use syscall to get timestamp
Many architectures and platforms can not directly read a timestamp
from userspace as the relevant MMIO registers are inaccessible.
This necessitates that the timestamp be obtained by a system call.
The additional overhead from these system calls can be taken into
account and the recorded times adjusted depending upon whether
the test occurred entirely within kernel space, entirely within
user space, or a mix between the two.
It is worth noting that when the test requires a mix of both user
and kernel space threads, the overhead is estimated as the mean
average of purely kernel threads and purely user threads overhead
times. This might not be technically correct, but it ought to
provide a reasonable enough approximation.
