Description of problem:

Updating performance profile test lane is flaky due to :

1. race conditions in tuned status checks:

After enabling realtime and high power consumption under workload hints in the performance profile, the test is falling since it cannot find stalld pid:
msg: "failed to run command [pidof stalld]: output \"\"; error \"\"; command terminated with exit code 1",

2. mishandled test skips when hardware is not sufficient for a test

3. Unnecessary waits for mcp status changes
in performance profile
