Current cstream implementation is pretty slow, even without throttling.
use blkdiscard --zeroout instead when storage support it,
which is a few magnitudes faster.
Another benefit is that blkdiscard is skipping already zeroed block, so for empty
temp images like snapshot, is pretty fast.
blkdiscard don't have throttling like cstream, but we can tune the step size
of zeroes pushed to the storage.
I'm using 32MB stepsize by default , like ovirt, where it seem to be the best
balance between speed and load.

but it can be reduce with "saferemove_stepsize" option.
stepsize is also autoreduce to sysfs write_zeroes_max_bytes, which is the maximum
zeroing batch supported by the storage
