Subject: [PATCH 02/13] selftests/resctrl: Calculate resctrl FS derived mem bw over sleep(1) only

For MBM/MBA tests, measure_vals() calls get_mem_bw_imc() that performs
the measurement over a duration of sleep(1) call. The memory bandwidth
numbers from IMC are derived over this duration. The resctrl FS derived
memory bandwidth, however, is calculated inside measure_vals() and only
takes delta between the previous value and the current one which
besides the actual test, also samples inter-test noise.

Rework the logic in measure_vals() and get_mem_bw_imc() such that the
resctrl FS memory bandwidth section covers much shorter duration
closely matching that of the IMC perf counters to improve measurement
accuracy.
