perf test: Fix test_arm_coresight.sh failures on Juno

This test commonly fails on Arm Juno because the instruction interval
is large enough to miss generating any samples for Perf in system-wide
mode.

Fix this by lowering the interval until a comfortable number of Perf
instructions are generated. The test is still quick to run because only
a small amount of trace is gathered.

Before:

  sudo ./perf test coresight -vvv
  ...
  Recording trace with system wide mode

After:
