app/testpmd: use clock time in throughput calculation
The throughput calculation requires a counter that measures
passing of time. However, the kernel saves and restores the PMU
state when a thread is unscheduled and scheduled. This ensures
that the PMU cycles are not counted towards a thread that is
not scheduled. Hence, when RTE_ARM_EAL_RDTSC_USE_PMU is enabled,
the PMU cycles do not represent the passing of time.
This results in incorrect calculation of throughput numbers.
Use clock_gettime system call to calculate the time passed since
last call.
