[Virtio-fs] [PATCH V2] virtiofsd: Use --thread-pool-size=0 to mean no thread pool

Right now we create a thread pool and main thread hands over the request
to thread in thread pool to process. Number of threads in thread pool
can be managed by option --thread-pool-size.
In tests we have noted that many of the workloads are getting better
performance if we don't use a thread pool at all and process all
the requests in the context of a thread receiving the request.
Hence give user an option to be able to run virtiofsd without using
a thread pool.
To implement this, I have used existing option --thread-pool-size. This
option defines how many maximum threads can be in the thread pool.
Thread pool size zero freezes thead pool. I can't see why will one
start virtiofsd with a frozen thread pool (hence frozen file system).
So I am redefining --thread-pool-size=0 to mean, don't use a thread pool.
Instead process the request in the context of thread receiving request
from the queue.
