[PATCH v3 3/3] nvme: add test for controller rescan under I/O load

Add a test that repeatedly rescans nvme controllers while doing IO
on an nvme namespace connected to these controllers. The purpose
of the test is to make sure that no I/O errors or data corruption
occurs because of the rescan operations. The test uses sub-second
sleeps, which can't be easily accomplished in bash because of
missing floating-point arithmetic (and because usleep(1) isn't
portable). Therefore an awk program is used to trigger the
device rescans.

v3: (all changes suggested by Shinichiro Kawasaki)
    - add "Link:" tag
    - add comment with patch description
    - declare variable "st" local
    - use "mapfile -t" for array assignment
v2: - don't use usleep (Nilay Shroff). Use an awk program to do floating
      point arithmetic and achieve more accurate sub-second sleep times.
    - add 053.out (Nilay Shroff).
