Playing around with the now available IO schedulers does not appear to
help much and looking at iotop while the test runs does show
ext4lazyinit consuming much of the IO most of the time while the test
runs.

I wonder if this is a more ominous change of behavior after all

Total DISK READ:         0.00 B/s | Total DISK WRITE:         0.00 B/s
Current DISK READ:       0.00 B/s | Current DISK WRITE:      22.22 M/s
    TID  PRIO  USER     DISK READ  DISK WRITE  SWAPIN     IO>    COMMAND        
    948 be/4 root        0.00 B/s    0.00 B/s  0.00 % 99.99 % [ext4lazyinit]
   5651 be/4 root        0.00 B/s    0.00 B/s  0.00 % 99.99 % fio /usr~write.fio
     22 be/4 root        0.00 B/s    0.00 B/s  0.00 % 94.61 % [kworker~-252:384]

Reopening to get some take from kernel team on the change of IO
schedulers and if this is an anticipated side effect and/or if any known
regression surrounding the ext4lazyinit process.
