Subject: [PATCH] perf tests: Speed up off-cpu profiling tests

The off-cpu profiling test suite runs multiple recording commands with a
default workload of `sleep 1` to test the off-cpu threshold configurations
(specifically, above 999ms and below 1200ms). This adds a mandatory 3.0
seconds of sleep overhead.

Optimize this by scaling down the thresholds and workload durations by a
factor of 10:
- Use `sleep 0.1` as the workload duration.
- Change the above-threshold test to use `--off-cpu-thresh 50` and `sleep
  0.1`.
- Change the below-threshold test to use `--off-cpu-thresh 500` and `sleep
  0.1`.
- Update the awk period check in the above-threshold test to look for a
  period greater than 50,000,000 ns (50ms) instead of 999,000,000 ns
  (999ms).

This reduces raw test sleep overhead from 3.0s down to 0.3s, yielding a
~2.7 second speedup for this test.
