The value in bpf map means how many times trace_enter_open_at are 
triggered with tracepoint,sys_enter_openat. Sleep(2) is to enlarge the 
result, tell the user how many files are opened in the last 2 seconds.

It shows like this:

sudo ./samples/bpf/syscall_tp
prog #0: map ids 4 5
verify map:4 val: 253
verify map:5 val: 252

If we work harder, we can also print those files' name and opened by 
which process.

It's just an improvement instead of a bug fix, i will drop it if 
reviewers think it's unnecessary.

Thanks.
