samples/bpf, xdpsock: Fix race when running for fix duration of time
When running xdpsock for a fix duration of time before terminating using --duration=<n>, there is a race condition that may cause xdpsock to terminate immediately. When running for a fixed duration of time the check to determine when to terminate execution is in is_benchmark_done() and is being executed in the context of the poller thread, if (opt_duration > 0) { unsigned long dt = (get_nsecs() - start_time); if (dt >= opt_duration) benchmark_done = true; } However start_time is only set after the poller thread have been created. This leaves a small window when the poller thread is starting and calls is_benchmark_done() for the first time that start_time is not yet set. In that case start_time have its initial value of 0 and the duration check fails as it do not correlate correctly for the applications start time and immediately sets benchmark_done which in turn terminates the xdpsock application. Fix this by setting start_time before creating the poller thread.
