selftests: ublk: support arbitrary threads/queues combination

Browse source 
Enable flexible thread-to-queue mapping in batch I/O mode to support
arbitrary combinations of threads and queues, improving resource
utilization and scalability.

Key improvements:
- Support N:M thread-to-queue mapping (previously limited to 1:1)
- Dynamic buffer allocation based on actual queue assignment per thread
- Thread-safe queue preparation with spinlock protection
- Intelligent buffer index calculation for multi-queue scenarios
- Enhanced validation for thread/queue combination constraints

Implementation details:
- Add q_thread_map matrix to track queue-to-thread assignments
- Dynamic allocation of commit and fetch buffers per thread
- Round-robin queue assignment algorithm for load balancing
- Per-queue spinlock to prevent race conditions during prep
- Updated buffer index calculation using queue position within thread

This enables efficient configurations like:
- Any other N:M combinations for optimal resource matching

Testing:
- Added test_batch_02.sh: 4 threads vs 1 queue
- Added test_batch_03.sh: 1 thread vs 4 queues
- Validates correctness across different mapping scenarios
