Yonghong Song 35697c12d7 selftests/bpf: Fix test_progs send_signal flakiness with nmi mode
Alexei observed that test_progs send_signal may fail if run
with command line "./test_progs" and the tests will pass
if just run "./test_progs -n 40".

I observed similar issue with nmi subtest failure
and added a delay 100 us in Commit ab8b7f0cb3
("tools/bpf: Add self tests for bpf_send_signal_thread()")
and the problem is gone for me. But the issue still exists
in Alexei's testing environment.

The current code uses sample_freq = 50 (50 events/second), which
may not be enough. But if the sample_freq value is larger than
sysctl kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate, the perf_event_open
syscall will fail.

This patch changed nmi perf testing to use sample_period = 1,
which means trying to sampling every event. This seems fixing
the issue.
