selftests/membarrier: Add rseq stress test for CFS throttle interactions

Add a new stress test to exercise the interaction between targeted
expedited membarrier commands and CFS bandwidth throttling.

The test creates a deep cgroup hierarchy and aggressively hammers the
membarrier syscall to expose lock contention and latency issues. This
serves as a reliable reproducer for the `membarrier_ipi_mutex` cascade
lockup, ensuring future changes to membarrier locking do not regress
targeted command latency.
