Remove test_generic_01.sh since block layer may reorder I/O, making
the test prone to false positives. Apply the improvements to
test_generic_02.sh instead, which supposes for covering ublk dispatch
io order.
Rework test_generic_02 to verify that ublk dispatch doesn't reorder I/O
by comparing request start order with completion order using bpftrace.
The bpftrace script now:
- Tracks each request's start sequence number in a map keyed by sector
- On completion, verifies the request's start order matches expected
completion order
- Reports any out-of-order completions detected
The test script:
- Wait bpftrace BEGIN code block is run
- Pins fio to CPU 0 for deterministic behavior
- Uses block_io_start and block_rq_complete tracepoints
- Checks bpftrace output for reordering errors

The ios map populated by seq_io.bt is never read, so remove it.

The last_rw map is initialized with a value of 0 but later assigned the
value args.sector + args.nr_sector, which has type sector_t = u64.
bpftrace complains about the type mismatch between int64 and uint64:
trace/seq_io.bt:18:3-59: ERROR: Type mismatch for @last_rw: trying to assign value of type 'uint64' when map already contains a value of type 'int64'
@last_rw[$dev, str($2)] = (args.sector + args.nr_sector);
Cast the initial value to uint64 so bpftrace will load the program.

Add a new test test_generic_12 which:
- sets up a ublk server with per_io_tasks and a different number of ublk
server threads and ublk_queues. This is possible now that these
objects are decoupled
- runs some I/O load from a single CPU
- verifies that all the ublk server threads handle some I/O
Before this changeset, this test fails, since I/O issued from one CPU is
always handled by the one ublk server thread. After this changeset, the
test passes.
In the future, the last check above may be strengthened to "verify that
all ublk server threads handle the same amount of I/O." However, this
requires some adjustments/bugfixes to tag allocation, so this work is
postponed to a followup.

block layer, ublk and io_uring might re-order IO in the past
- plug
- queue ublk io command via task work
Add one test for verifying if sequential WRITE IO is dispatched in order.
- null target is taken, so we can just observe io order from
`tracepoint:block:block_rq_complete` which represents the dispatch order
- WRITE IO is taken because READ may come from system-wide utility
