perf test: Hybrid improvements for metric value validation test

On my alderlake I currently see for the "perf metrics value validation" test:

```
Total Test Count:  142
Passed Test Count:  139

Metric Relationship Error:      The collected value of metric ['tma_fetch_latency', 'tma_fetch_bandwidth', 'tma_frontend_bound']
                        is [31.137028] in workload(s): ['perf bench futex hash -r 2 -s']
                        but expected value range is [tma_frontend_bound, tma_frontend_bound]
                        Relationship rule description: 'Sum of the level 2 children should equal level 1 parent',
Metric Relationship Error:      The collected value of metric ['tma_memory_bound', 'tma_core_bound', 'tma_backend_bound']
                        is [6.564442] in workload(s): ['perf bench futex hash -r 2 -s']
                        but expected value range is [tma_backend_bound, tma_backend_bound]
                        Relationship rule description: 'Sum of the level 2 children should equal level 1 parent',
Metric Relationship Error:      The collected value of metric ['tma_light_operations', 'tma_heavy_operations', 'tma_retiring']
                        is [57.806179] in workload(s): ['perf bench futex hash -r 2 -s']
                        but expected value range is [tma_retiring, tma_retiring]
                        Relationship rule description: 'Sum of the level 2 children should equal level 1 parent']
Metric validation return with erros. Please check metrics reported with errors.
```

I suspect it is due to two metrics for different CPU types being
enabled. Add a -cputype option to avoid this. The test still fails with:

```
Total Test Count:  115
Passed Test Count:  114

Wrong Metric Value Error:       The collected value of metric ['tma_l2_hit_latency']
                        is [117.947088] in workload(s): ['perf bench futex hash -r 2 -s']
                        but expected value range is [0, 100]]
Metric validation return with errors. Please check metrics reported with errors.
```

which is a reproducible genuine error and likely requires a metric fix.
