PATCH 1/1 tscdeadline_latency: add option to exit on max latency

Add option to exit in case latency exceeds a given maximum.

Its useful to test host latency without the complexity of a guest.

Example command line:

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on; taskset -c 3 qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -device testdev,chardev=testlog -chardev file,id=testlog,path=msr.out -display none -serial stdio -kernel x86/tscdeadline_latency.flat -cpu host -append "200000 10000 120050" > /tmp/a; echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
