Subject: [PATCH 1/1] cyclictest: finish removal of 1 second first loops

Observation:
Huge latencies reported close to 1 second when certain options
are used in cyclictest.

Problem:
[ commit da4956cbcaf7945554f30e4d3a9be09b1431b19a
    use interval on first loop instead of 1 second ]
removed the 1 second first timing loop out of the main path
in cyclictest but left it in two other paths, namely the ones
triggered by these two options:
-r       --relative        use relative timer instead of absolute
-s       --system          use sys_nanosleep and sys_setitimer
This causes huge latencies of close to 1 second to be reported
by cyclictest with certain uses of those two options.

Fix:
Extend the original commit to remove the 1 second hardcoded
timer values from the RELTIME and ITIMER options.  Use the
the actual interval instead.
