[BUG]
When running the test case btrfs/002, with 64K page size and 64K sector
size, and the VM doesn't have much memory (in my case 4G Vram), the test
case will trigger OOM and fail:

btrfs/002 4s ... [failed, exit status 1]- output mismatch (see /home/adam/xfstests-dev/results//btrfs/002.out.bad)

The OOM is triggered by the dd process, and a lot of dd processes are
using too much memory:

[CAUSE]
The test case workload _fill_blk() is going to fill the file to its block
boundary.

But the implementation is not taking larger blocks into consideration.

	FSIZE=`stat -t $i | cut -d" " -f2`
	BLKS=`stat -c "%B" $i`
	NBLK=`stat -c "%b" $i`
	FALLOC=$(($BLKS * $NBLK))
	WS=$(($FALLOC - $FSIZE))

$FSIZE is the file size, $BLKS is the size of each reported block,
$NBLK is the number of blocks the file takes, thus $FALLOC is the
rounded up block size.

For 64K sector size, the BLKS is 512, and BLKS is 128 (one 64K sector).
$FALLOC is the correct value of 64K (10K rounded up to 64K).

Then the problem comes to how the write is done:

	_ddt of=$i oseek=$FSIZE obs=$WS count=1 status=noxfer 2>/dev/null &

Unfrotunately the above command is using output block size of 54K, and
need to skip 10K * 54K bytes, resulting a file size of 540M.

So far although it's not the correct intention, it's not yet causing
problem.

But during _append_file(), we further enlarge the file by:

		FSIZE=`stat -t $i | cut -d" " -f2`
		dd if=$X of=$i seek=1 bs=$FSIZE obs=$FSIZE count=1 status=noxfer 2>/dev/null &

In above case, since the previous file is 540M size, the output block
size will also be 540M, taking a lot of memory.

Furthermore since the workload is run in background, we can have many dd
processes taking up at least 540M, causing huge memory usage and trigger
OOM.

[FIX]
The original code is already not doing what it should do, just get rid of
the cursed dd command usage inside _fill_blk(), and use pwrite from
xfs_io instead.
