Tudor Cornea 5569dd7d90 kni: allow configuring thread granularity
The Kni kthreads seem to be re-scheduled at a granularity of roughly
1 millisecond right now, which seems to be insufficient for performing
tests involving a lot of control plane traffic.

Even if KNI_KTHREAD_RESCHEDULE_INTERVAL is set to 5 microseconds, it
seems that the existing code cannot reschedule at the desired granularily,
due to precision constraints of schedule_timeout_interruptible().

In our use case, we leverage the Linux Kernel for control plane, and
it is not uncommon to have 60K - 100K pps for some signaling protocols.

Since we are not in atomic context, the usleep_range() function seems to be
more appropriate for being able to introduce smaller controlled delays,
in the range of 5-10 microseconds. Upon reading the existing code, it would
seem that this was the original intent. Adding sub-millisecond delays,
seems unfeasible with a call to schedule_timeout_interruptible().

KNI_KTHREAD_RESCHEDULE_INTERVAL 5 /* us */
schedule_timeout_interruptible(
        usecs_to_jiffies(KNI_KTHREAD_RESCHEDULE_INTERVAL));

Below, we attempted a brief comparison between the existing implementation,
which uses schedule_timeout_interruptible() and usleep_range().

We attempt to measure the CPU usage, and RTT between two Kni interfaces,
which are created on top of vmxnet3 adapters, connected by a vSwitch.

Upon testing, usleep_range(1000, 1100) seems roughly equivalent in
latency and cpu usage to the variant with schedule_timeout_interruptible(),
while usleep_range(100, 200) seems to give a decent tradeoff between
latency and cpu usage, while allowing users to tweak the limits for
improved precision if they have such use cases.

Disabling RTE_KNI_PREEMPT_DEFAULT, interestingly seems to lead to a
softlockup on my kernel.

This patch also attempts to remove this option.
