[PATCH] fstests: generic/366: add a new test case to verify if certain fio load will hang the filesystem

[BUG]
During the development to make btrfs pass generic/563 (which needs to
make btrfs to support partial updaote folios), generic/095 causes hangs
during tests.

The call trace for the hanging process looks like this:

  __switch_to+0xf8/0x168
  __schedule+0x328/0x8a8
  schedule+0x54/0x140
  io_schedule+0x44/0x68

  filemap_read+0x11c/0x3b8
  btrfs_file_read_iter+0x74/0x90 [btrfs]
  new_sync_read+0xd0/0x1d0
  vfs_read+0x1a0/0x1f0

[CAUSE]
The root cause is a btrfs specific behavior that during a folio read, we
can trigger writeback of the same folio, which will try to lock the same
folio already locked by the read process.

The fix is already sent to the mailing list:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/62bf73ada7be2888d45a787c2b6fd252103a5d25.1729725088.git.wqu@xxxxxxxx/

This problem can only happen if all the following conditions are met:

- The sector size of btrfs is smaller than page size
  To have partial uptodate folios.

- Btrfs won't read the full folio if buffered write is block aligned
  This is done by the not yet merged patch:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/ac2639ec4e9ac176d33e95ef7ecf008fa6be5461.1727833878.git.wqu@xxxxxxxx/

[TEST CASE]
During the debugging of that generic/095 hang, I extracted a minimal
reproducer which is much smaller and faster, although it still requires
several runs to trigger a hang.

The test case will run the fio workload 32 times by default, which is
more than enough to trigger the hang.
