selftests/bpf: Add parallelism to test_progs
This patch adds "-j" mode to test_progs, executing tests in multiple process. "-j" mode is optional, and works with all existing test selection mechanism, as well as "-v", "-l" etc. In "-j" mode, main process use UDS/SEQPACKET to communicate to each forked worker, commanding it to run tests and collect logs. After all tests are finished, a summary is printed. main process use multiple competing threads to dispatch work to worker, trying to keep them all busy. The test status will be printed as soon as it is finished, if there are error logs, it will be printed after the final summary line. By specifying "--debug", additional debug information on server/worker communication will be printed. Example output: > ./test_progs -n 15-20 -j [ 12.801730] bpf_testmod: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
