Bug description:
  [Impact]
  In RGW deployments with large deltas for deleted objects, the garbage collector will easily fall behind on cleanup of deleted objects eventually resulting in OSD devices hitting storage capacity.

  [Test Case]
  Deploy Ceph + RADOS Gateway
  Create millions of objects in an iterative loop
  Start deleting objects in parallel at a high rate
  Storage capacity will gradually reduce over time as RGW garbage collection falls behind.

  [Tricky to reproduce without significant scale of objects + deletion
  but proposed fix has been tested in the field.]

  [Regression Potential]
  Low - fix has been accepted into Ceph Luminous upstream and will form part of the next point release.  Change to use AIO for GC is also in later Ceph releases.

  [Original Bug Report]
  SRU for backport of the GC AIO feature to Ceph Luminous.
