dpif-netdev: Set timer slack for PMD threads.
The default Linux timer slack groups timer expires into 50 uS intervals.
With some traffic patterns this can mean that returning to process
packets after a sleep takes too long and packets are dropped.
Add a helper to util.c and set use it to reduce the timer slack
for PMD threads, so that sleeps with smaller resolutions can be done
to prevent sleeping for too long.
Fixes: de3bbdc479a9 ("dpif-netdev: Add PMD load based sleeping.")
