automated: sysbench: add percpu benchmark

On multi core platforms, running 'sysbench --test=cpu' is not deterministic,
since we cannot guarantee on which CPU the test is being run. It is even more
problematic on big little platforms.

In order for sysbench to be useful, we need to run sysbench 'cpu' benchmarks in
the following conditions:
1. with --num-thread=<number of cpu>
2. with --num-thread=1 , for each cpu , using task affinity

So that we can benchmark the platform as a whole, and each CPU individually.

This patch adds a specific 'percpu' mode that takes care of #2 above. For #1, I
would be in favor of removing NUMBER_THREADS as a params, or at least set it to
<number of CPU> by default, but this is not done in this patch.

A tweak in general_parser() was needed to add the cpu ID to the test name, running
the test with 'percpu cpu' as PARAMS gives the following output:
