  sheep: add a new option for using fixed workqueues for stable performance

This commit adds a new option -w to sheep for using fixed workqueues.
Example of usage:
$ sheep -w gway=100,net=300

If the option isn't passed, sheep uses unlimited queues but it is
highly dicouraged for stable and high IOPS.

Based on @luckychen 's report, the patch doubles IOPS with well
configured parameters: 40,000 -> 83,460 IOPS
