Subject: [PATCH 1/9] perf bench: Add --repeat option

There are a number of benchmarks that do single runs and
as a result does not really help users gain a general idea
of how the workload performs. So the user must either manually
do multiple runs or just use single bogus results.

This option will enable users to specify the amount of runs
(arbitrarily defaulted to 5) through the '--repeat' option.
Add it to perf-bench instead of implementing it always in
each specific benchmark.
