selftests/bpf: add multi-uprobe benchmarks

Add multi-uprobe and multi-uretprobe benchmarks to bench tool.
Multi- and classic uprobes/uretprobes have different low-level
triggering code paths, so it's sometimes important to be able to
benchmark both flavors of uprobes/uretprobes.

Sample examples from my dev machine below. Single-threaded peformance
almost doesn't differ, but with more parallel CPUs triggering the same
uprobe/uretprobe the difference grows. This might be due to [0], but
given the code is slightly different, there could be other sources of
slowdown.

Note, all these numbers will change due to ongoing work to improve
uprobe/uretprobe scalability (e.g., [1]), but having benchmark like this
is useful for measurements and debugging nevertheless.

\#!/bin/bash
set -eufo pipefail
for p in 1 8 16 32; do
    for i in uprobe-nop uretprobe-nop uprobe-multi-nop uretprobe-multi-nop; do
        summary=$(sudo ./bench -w1 -d3 -p$p -a trig-$i | tail -n1)
        total=$(echo "$summary" | cut -d'(' -f1 | cut -d' ' -f3-)
        percpu=$(echo "$summary" | cut -d'(' -f2 | cut -d')' -f1 | cut -d'/' -f1)
        printf "%-21s (%2d cpus): %s (%s/s/cpu)\n" $i $p "$total" "$percpu"
    done
    echo
