dm thin: throttle incoming IO

Browse Source 
Throttle IO based on the time it's taking the worker to do one loop.
There were reports of hung task timeouts occuring and it was observed
that the excessively long avgqu-sz (as reported by iostat) was
contributing to these hung tasks.

Throttling definitely helps dm-thinp perform better under heavy IO load
(without being detremental by being overzealous).  It reduces avgqu-sz
drastically, e.g.: from 60K to ~6K, and even as low as 150 once metadata
is cached by bufio, when dirty_ratio=5, dirty_background_ratio=2.  And
avgqu-sz stays at or below 30K even with dirty_ratio=20,
dirty_background_ratio=10.
