Anas Nashif db4a5f11ea tests: add kernel tag to all benchmarks and samples
All those benchmarks are kernel related, so add the kernel tag to avoid
building them when non kernel changes are being submitted.

Userspace Scheduler Microbenchmark
##################################

This is a scheduler microbenchmark, designed to measure minimum
latencies (not scaling performance) of specific low level scheduling
primitives independent of overhead from application or API
abstractions. Contrary to the non-userspace version, it runs threads
in userspace with different memory domains.

 It works very simply: a main thread creates n "yielders"
threads at a higher priority, from this initial state:

1. The main thread starts all yielders
2. Each yielder yields k times
5. The main thread joins all yielders

This is run for multiples values of n, reporting each time the
average time taken for a yield context switch.
