fix memory allocation in the cases we may need to align
when using the sg backend we crash w/ a SEGV in fio_sgio_getevents()
because of memory corruption from the IO. when we allocate the td's
backing store there's a possible post-allocation adjustment to page
align the buffers. however, the extra memory that this alignment may
need is not taken into account when allocating the buffer.
Tested:
- the problematic fio file looks like
fdha347:~# cat foo.fio
[global]
bs=64k
thread
rw=read
size=100g
time_based=1
runtime=60
iodepth=1
[sdc]
ioengine=sg
filename=/dev/sg2
numjobs=1
