[PATCH] sysbench: fix A/B testing device configuration conflicts

From: Daniel Gomez <[email protected]>

The sysbench workflow automatically enables A/B testing for atomic write
tests, but the single CONFIG_SYSBENCH_DEVICE configuration causes device
conflicts where both baseline and dev nodes try to use the same physical
device.

This commit implements separate device configuration for A/B testing:

* Add CONFIG_SYSBENCH_DEVICE_BASELINE for baseline nodes
* Add CONFIG_SYSBENCH_DEVICE_DEV for dev nodes
* Update CONFIG_SYSBENCH_DEVICE to work with single-node setups
* Add Ansible device resolution logic to automatically assign the
  correct device based on node group membership
* Add validation script to detect device conflicts and provide
  clear error messages with solutions
* Integrate validation into sysbench Makefile to run automatically

The solution maintains backward compatibility for non-A/B configurations
while eliminating device conflicts in A/B testing scenarios.

When A/B testing is enabled, all nodes (baseline + dev) try to use
the same device, causing failures when physical devices are assigned
via PCIe passthrough. This affects both baseline-vs-dev conflicts and
scenarios with multiple dev guests.

Add group-aware device resolution so baseline and dev nodes can use
different devices. Note that multiple dev guests still require further
decoupling, similar to PCIe passthrough device-to-host assignment if a
physical device is assigned to a specific dev guest.
