Ilpo Järvinen da50de0a92 selftests/resctrl: Calculate resctrl FS derived mem bw over sleep(1) only
For MBM/MBA tests, measure_vals() calls get_mem_bw_imc() that performs
the measurement over a duration of sleep(1) call. The memory bandwidth
numbers from IMC are derived over this duration. The resctrl FS derived
memory bandwidth, however, is calculated inside measure_vals() and only
takes delta between the previous value and the current one which
besides the actual test, also samples inter-test noise.

Rework the logic in measure_vals() and get_mem_bw_imc() such that the
resctrl FS memory bandwidth section covers much shorter duration
closely matching that of the IMC perf counters to improve measurement
accuracy.

For the second read after rewind() to return a fresh value, also
newline has to be consumed by the fscanf().
