[LTP] [PATCH] syscalls/preadv203: Add basic RWF_NOWAIT test

From: Cyril Hrubis <chrubis@suse.cz>

We are attempting to trigger the EAGAIN path for the RWF_NOWAIT flag.

In order to do so the test runs three threads:

* nowait_reader: reads from a random offset from a random file with
                 RWF_NOWAIT flag and expects to get EAGAIN and short
                 read sooner or later

* writer_thread: rewrites random file in order to keep the underlying device
                 bussy so that pages evicted from cache cannot be faulted
                 immediatelly

* cache_dropper: attempts to evict pages from a cache in order for reader to
                 hit evicted page sooner or later

I was wondering if we can do a better job at flushing the caches. Is
there an interface for flusing caches just for the device we are using
for the test?

Also the RWF_NOWAIT should probably be benchmarked as well but that is
completely out of scope for LTP.
