Subject: [PATCH 7/8] rtla/timerlat: Make user-space threads the default

After ther -u addition, most of the known users are setting it. And
it makes sense, as it adds more information, and inherits the default
setup for the threads - e.g., cgroups configs.

Thus, if the user-space interface is available, enable -u. Otherwise,
use the in-kernel thread.

Add the -k option to allow the user to request kernel-threads.
