Perform various regression tests for ext4defrag subsystem Test1: Defragment file while other task does direct AIO Test2: Perform defragmentation on file under buffered AIO while third task does direct AIO to donor file Test3: Two defrag tasks use common donor file. Test4: Stress defragmentation. Several threads pefrorm fragmentation at random position use inplace=1 will allocate and free blocks inside defrag event improve load pressure.
Please do these as 4 separate tests so that it is easy to isolate/reproduce failures caused by a specific test that is being run. Same comments as previous two patches, as well.

+_require_fio $tmp-$seq.fioEven though e4defrag is not used, it's probably still a good idea to call _require_defrag to check for systems that have a recent enough ext4 to run defrag on. e.g. a recent fio on an old distro might result in fio saying "I understand this job file" but then not be able to run defrag...
