Subject: [PATCH 2/4] samples/bpf: Check the result of system()

To avoid the below build warning message,
use new generate_load() checking the return value.

  ignoring return value of ‘system’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result

And it also refactors the duplicate code of both
test_perf_event_all_cpu() and test_perf_event_task()
