Summary:
We have seen that reading data via the pread call (instead of
mmap) is much faster on Linux 2.6.x kernels. This patch makes
an equivalent option to switch off mmaps for the write path
as well.
db_bench --mmap_write=0 will use write() instead of mmap() to
write data to a file.
This change is backward compatible, the default
option is to continue using mmap for writing to a file.
Test Plan: "make check all"
