xfs_io -M will start by spawning an idle thread.
The purpose of this idle thread is to test io from a multi threaded
process. With single threaded process, the file table is not shared
and file structs are not reference counted.

So in order to detect file struct reference leaks, spawning an idle
thread will do the trick.

Indentation issue: the pause should on a line of its own.

Otherwise this looks fine to me:
