[LTP] [PATCH v3 4/7] fzsync: Add sched_yield for single core machine

[Richard Palethorpe]

From: Leo Yu-Chi Liang <ycliang@andestech.com>

Fuzzy sync library uses spin waiting mechanism to implement thread
barrier behavior, which would cause this test to be time-consuming
on single core machine.

Fix this by adding sched_yield in the spin waiting loop, so that the
thread yields cpu as soon as it enters the waiting loop.
