I re-test the "fio-basic: fio.read_iops -4.8% regression"  for more than
5 times, the average regression is -2.3%.
For "stress_ng", normally, it tests a lot of cases one by one. Command 
'stress-ng --stackmmap-ops' only test  "stackmmap" case.
I also tried only test "stackmmap" case, the regression is -7.8%.

But for here, it mainly reports "reaim.jobs_per_min -18.4% regression",
I re-test  "reaim" case, the result is almost the same.
