Sometimes while running a mix of sequential and random I/O's the
generated sequential offset is outside the I/O region. This usually
happens if the previous I/O is the last block in the region and
thus results in this sequential I/O's offset to be just outside the
region.
With this fix, fio generates a random offset within the I/O region.
This fixes #1486
