cyclictest: Update parameters

Don't run cyclictest at priority 99 because the highest priority is
for the high priority kernel tasks. The highest user land priority
is 98.

Furthermore, we should make sure the threads are not migrated (set the
affinity). Also all memory should preallocated (mlockall) before
starting the measurement.

Additional the recommended why to sleep is to use clock_nanosleep
which is not default.

And finally also set the interval to 1000us which most -rt maintainers
are using. This allows to compare the result easier.
