perf bench futex: Add --mlockall parameter
This adds, across all futex benchmarks, the -m/--mlockall option which is a common operation for realtime workloads by not incurring in page faults in paths that want determinism. As such, threads started after a call to mlockall(2) will generate page faults immediately since the new stack is immediately forced to memory, due to the MCL_FUTURE flag.
