[RFC PATCH v12 8/8] perf test: Add test for Intel TPEBS counting mode

[weilin . wang]

From: Weilin Wang <weilin.wang@xxxxxxxxx>

Intel TPEBS sampling mode is supported through perf record. The counting mode
code uses perf record to capture retire_latency value and use it in metric
calculation. This test checks the counting mode code.
