On ext2/ext3, it's expected that several single block metadata reads can occur
when writing to file in the same cgroup (the stack is like below[1]). The
purpose of the "write -> read/write" subtest is to make sure the larger pwrite
is accounted to the correct cgroup, not necessarily enforce that zero bytes are
read in service of the write. This patch fixes the sub-test in order to tolerate
small reads in 1st cgroup.

[1] Callchain of the read:

@ext3_read_bio[
    submit_bio+1
    submit_bh_wbc+365
    ext4_read_bh+72
    ext4_get_branch+201
    ext4_ind_map_blocks+382
    ext4_map_blocks+295
    _ext4_get_block+170
    __block_write_begin_int+328
    ext4_write_begin+541
    generic_perform_write+213
    ext4_buffered_write_iter+167
    new_sync_write+345
    vfs_write+438
    __x64_sys_pwrite64+140
    do_syscall_64+51

Hi,

This patch fix the "write -> read/write" sub-test in order to tolerate
small reads in service of the write (like read metadata).

Change from v2:
Restore write tolerance to 5%, to match the historical behavior of the
test.

Thanks,
Boyang
