How to make user as an exposed filter option in filter criteria of a normal view?
You may install this module Total Control module. After installing this module goto this link yourdomain.com/admin/structure/views/view/control_users/edit

This view provides the functionality you want. 

To see it working you visit the page through this link yourdomain.com/admin/dashboard/users

EDIT I have export the view and pasted it below in-case you just need a reference and don't want to install that module.
