cyclictest: write tracemark if latency above spike value

[Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>]

It is useful to have the following ranges:

	Value			Behaviour

	> break_lat	   -> write tracemark entry, quit cyclictest.

	[spike, break_lat] -> write tracemark entry, continue execution.

	< spike		   -> no tracemark entry, continue execution.


So one can know which events are causing "close to break value"
(and their causes).
