Subject: [PATCH v4 02/16] 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. Open two the resctrl mem bw files twice to avoid opening
after the test during measurement period (reading the same file twice
returns the same value so two files are needed).

Suggested-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@...el.com>

v4:
- Open resctrl mem bw file (twice) beforehand to avoid opening it during
  the test
v3:
- Don't drop Return: entry from perf_open_imc_mem_bw() func comment
