Thanks Daniel

Note that some BPF programs are quite expensive

[  173.447471] test_bpf: #264 BPF_MAXINSNS: Call heavy transformations jited:1 19248 18548 PASS
jited:1 12519 PASS
[  173.509228] test_bpf: #269 BPF_MAXINSNS: ld_abs+get_processor_id jited:1 20896 PASS

So we can still consume ~200 ms per test, without cond_resched()

Maybe reducing MAX_TESTRUNS from 10000 to 1000 would be the next step ?
