[Intel-gfx] [PATCH i-g-t v6 09/12] tests/perf: estimate number of blocking/polling based on time spent

Blocking & polling tests define an amount of time to spend in the test
and then estimate the number of syscalls that should successfully
return. The problem is that while running the test we might spend
slightly more time than initiallly planned. This change estimates the
number of syscalls based on time spent after the fact.
