Subject: [PATCH 1/5] linux-aio: add IO_CMD_FDSYNC command support

RH-Author: Prasad Pandit <None>
RH-MergeRequest: 260: linux-aio: add IO_CMD_FDSYNC command support
RH-Jira: RHEL-51901
RH-Acked-by: Miroslav Rezanina <mrezanin@redhat.com>
RH-Commit: [1/1] 2830edc801f9fbbc373631cf5b12a396f4b2bced (pjp/cs-qemu-kvm)

Libaio defines IO_CMD_FDSYNC command to sync all outstanding
asynchronous I/O operations, by flushing out file data to the
disk storage. Enable linux-aio to submit such aio request.

When using aio=native without fdsync() support, QEMU creates
pthreads, and destroying these pthreads results in TLB flushes.
In a real-time guest environment, TLB flushes cause a latency
spike. This patch helps to avoid such spikes.
