This is the second version of fixed worker implementation.
Wrote a nop test program to test it, 3 fixed-workers VS 3 normal workers.
normal workers:
./run_nop_wqe.sh nop_wqe_normal 200000 100 3 1-3
time spent: 10464397 usecs IOPS: 1911242
time spent: 9610976 usecs IOPS: 2080954
time spent: 9807361 usecs IOPS: 2039284

fixed workers:
./run_nop_wqe.sh nop_wqe_fixed 200000 100 3 1-3
time spent: 17314274 usecs IOPS: 1155116
time spent: 17016942 usecs IOPS: 1175299
time spent: 17908684 usecs IOPS: 1116776

About 2x improvement. From perf result, almost no acct->lock contension.
