NAK on this bit. Let's use the nproc for cases that just want a random
suitable workload for their machine. For flush, the idea here is to
use a ton of flushes. This has shown bugs in the past, like this
for instance:

commit 7520872c0cf4d3df6d74242c6edfb9e70a47df4d

    block: don't defer flushes on blk-mq + scheduling

For the other tests in your patch, the change looks fine. But I would
greatly prefer if we just turned that into a

__run_fio_mix

or similar command, since the jobs should basically be identical.
