[LTP] [PATCH v2] ltp-aiodio.part4: Run DIT000 with only 1 reader process

[Martin Doucha <mdoucha@suse.cz>]

New changes in real-time kernel patchset give high priority to direct I/O
readers and may cause writes to block indefinitely if there are too many
reader processes running in parallel. Reduce the number of reader processes
in DIT000 to 1 which was the dio_truncate default before rewrite to new API.

Also add warning to dio_truncate if CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is enabled and
the number of reader processes is too high.

Signed-off-by: Martin Doucha <mdoucha@suse.cz>

Change since v1:
- Added warning to dio_trunc

I'll leave up for discussion whether to merge this patch or v1.
