Add test_generic_15.sh to verify that async partition scan prevents
IO hang when reading partition tables.
The test creates ublk devices with fault_inject target and very large
delay (60s) to simulate blocked partition table reads, then kills the
daemon to verify proper state transitions without hanging:
1. Without recovery support:
- Create device with fault_inject and 60s delay
- Kill daemon while partition scan may be blocked
- Verify device transitions to DEAD state
2. With recovery support (-r 1):
- Create device with fault_inject, 60s delay, and recovery
- Kill daemon while partition scan may be blocked
- Verify device transitions to QUIESCED state
Before the async partition scan fix, killing the daemon during
partition scan would cause deadlock as partition scan held ub->mutex
while waiting for IO. With the async fix, partition scan happens in
a work function and flush_work() ensures proper synchronization.
Add _add_ublk_dev_no_settle() helper function to skip udevadm settle,
which would otherwise hang waiting for partition scan events to
complete when partition table read is delayed.

run_io_and_recover() invokes fio with --size="${size}", but the variable
size doesn't exist. Thus, the argument expands to --size=, which causes
fio to exit immediately with an error without issuing any I/O. Pass the
value for size as the first argument to the function.

test may exit early because of missing program or not having required
feature before calling _prep_test(), then $UBLK_TMP isn't cleaned.
Fix it by moving creating $UBLK_TMP into _prep_test(), any resources
created since _prep_test() will be cleaned by _cleanup_test().

Detach ublk daemon from the starting process completely by double-fork and
clearing its process group, so that `_add_ublk_dev` can return from sub-shell.
Then it is more friendly for writing shell test script for adding/recovering
ublk device.
Prepare for running ublk test in parallel.

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

Add UBLK_TEST_QUIET, so we can print test result(PASS/SKIP/FAIL) only.
Also always run from test script's current directory, then the same test
script can be started from other work directory.
This way helps a lot to reuse this test source code and scripts for
other projects(liburing, blktests, ...)

Add stress_test_01 for running IO vs. killing ublk server, so io_uring exit &
cancel code path can be covered, same with ublk's cancel code path.
Especially IO buffer lifetime is one big thing for ublk zero copy, the added
test can verify if this area works as expected.

Move zero copy feature check into _add_ublk_dev() since we will have
more tests which requires to cover zero copy.
Then one check function of _check_add_dev() has to be added for dealing
with cleanup since '_add_ublk_dev()' is run in sub-shell, and we can't
exit from it to terminal shell.
Meantime always return error code from _add_ublk_dev().

Both ublk driver and userspace heavily depends on io_uring subsystem,
and tools/testing/selftests/ should be the best place for holding this
cross-subsystem tests.
Add basic read/write IO test over this ublk null disk, and make sure ublk
working.
More tests will be added.
