As of glibc version 2.3.4 onwards getpid() is no longer cached. SPDK
makes calls to it in nvme_allocate_request() which is called for each
nvme request received. This results in a system calls up to millions of
times per second which slows down nvme submissions. Since the pid never
changes, it only needs to be called once in initialization per process.
This improves the performance of nvme_allocate_request() signficantly.
