Just "offload time" is fine.

Again, I don't think it is a good idea to have this compilation check.
RTE_TEST_BBDEV is used to enable the compilation of the test app,
so it shouldn't be used for anything else.
Also, in DPDK, we are avoiding the usage of this conditionals to enable/disable
pieces of code.

If you want to avoid the computation of this time, add a configuration option
in bbdev configuration structure (rte_bbdev_queue_conf?), so the decision is made at runtime.
