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.
