lib: Remove CONFIG_LATENCYTOP as "slow" kernel option
CONFIG_LATENCYTOP enables a kernel latency tracking infrastructure that is used by the "latencytop" userspace tool. The latency that is tracked is not else consuming CPU), but instead, it is the latency an application encounters because the kernel sleeps on its behalf for various reasons. This code tracks 2 levels of statistics: 1) System level latency 2) Per process latency IMHO this option is safe unless one runs latencytop userspace tool while testing LTP. Motivation for this is the openSUSE and some SLES kernels use CONFIG_LATENCYTOP and all tests are working with a default timeout. starvation.c is disabled with TCONF on slow kernels, which previously worked well on kernels with CONFIG_LATENCYTOP.
