Very minor nit, but I think searching the workload name for an argument 
instead of having a 'proper' toplevel argument seems a bit weird, but I 
can see why you did it that way.

But maybe something like this might be a bit more readable especially 
when searching in the usual places for an argument. And in the future 
might survive auto doc attempts of known arguments:

   $ perf test --list-workloads

And add it with OPT_BOOLEAN() etc.
