[oe] [PATCH meta-oe 5/9] nerperf: add

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537]

Thanks for the feedback.

I saw netperf is licensed under "netperf" in oe http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded/plain/recipes/netperf/netperf_2.4.4.bb. 

Anyway, I will send an email to the author to query about the license type. 


Best Regards,

Zhenhua
