Ran tests with auto_inval_data disabled and compared with other results.

vtfs-auto-ex-randrw     randrw-psync            27.8mb/9547kb   7136/2386
vtfs-auto-sh-randrw     randrw-psync            43.3mb/14.4mb   10.8k/3709
vtfs-auto-sh-noinval    randrw-psync            50.5mb/16.9mb   12.6k/4330
vtfs-none-sh-randrw     randrw-psync            54.1mb/18.1mb   13.5k/4649

With auto_inval_data disabled, this time I saw around 20% performance jump
in READ and is now much closer to cache=none performance.

Thanks
Vivek
