tools/perf: Fix timing issue with parallel threads in perf bench wake-up-parallel
perf bench futex fails as below and hangs intermittently when
attempted to run on on a powerpc system:
./perf bench futex wake-parallel
Running 'futex/wake-parallel' benchmark:
Run summary [PID 88588]: blocking on 640 threads (at [private] futex 0x10464b8c), 640 threads waking up 1 at a time.
[Run 1]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 1/640 threads) in 0.1309 ms (+-53.27%)

In the system, where perf bench wake-up-parallel is has system
configuration of 640 cpus. After debugging, this turned out to be
a timing issue. The benchmark creates threads equal to number of
cpus and issues a futex_wait. Then it does a usleep for .1 second
before initiating futex_wake. In system configuration with more
threads, the usleep time is not enough. Patch changes the usleep
from 100000 to 200000
With the patch, ran multiple iterations and there were no issues
further seen
