fio_plugin: switch to LD_PRELOAD instead of dynamically loading

Browse Source 
fio has a race between reap_threads() and free_ioengine().  free_ioengine()
will call the ioengine's cleanup routine and then dlclose it if it
is dynamically linked (like the spdk fio plugin).  free_ioengine() does
not set td->io_ops = NULL though until after dlclose() is complete.  If
reap_threads() tries to dereference td->io_ops after our plugin has been
closed but before io_ops was set to NULL, it will segfault.

Solution (until an upstream fio fix is available) is to use LD_PRELOAD
instead.

Usage
------
To use the SPDK fio plugin with fio, simply set the following in the fio configuration file
(see example_config.fio in the same directory as this README).
To use the SPDK fio plugin with fio, specify the plugin binary using LD_PRELOAD when running
fio and set ioengine=spdk in the fio configuration file (see example_config.fio in the same
directory as this README).
ioengine=<path to fio_plugin binary>

Currently the SPDK fio plugin is limited to thread usage model, so fio jobs must also specify thread=1
when using the SPDK fio plugin.
fio also currently has a race condition on shutdown if dynamically loading the ioengine by specifying the
engine's full path via the ioengine parameter - LD_PRELOAD is recommended to avoid this race condition.
When testing random workloads, it is recommended to set norandommap=1. fio's random map
processing consumes extra CPU cycles which will degrade performance over time with
the fio_plugin since all I/O are submitted and completed on a single CPU core.
