Bug description:
  For a certain type of workload, the bluefs might never compact the log file, 
  which would cause the bluefs log file slowly grows to a huge size 
  (some bigger than 1TB for a 1.5T device).

  This bug could eventually cause osd crash and failed to restart as it couldn't get through the bluefs replay phase during boot time.
  We might see below log when trying to restart the osd:
  bluefs mount failed to replay log: (5) Input/output error

  There are more details in the bluefs perf counters when this issue happened:
  e.g. 
  "bluefs": {
  "gift_bytes": 811748818944,
  "reclaim_bytes": 0,
  "db_total_bytes": 888564350976,
  "db_used_bytes": 867311747072,
  "wal_total_bytes": 0,
  "wal_used_bytes": 0,
  "slow_total_bytes": 0,
  "slow_used_bytes": 0,
  "num_files": 11,
  "log_bytes": 866545131520,
  "log_compactions": 0,
  "logged_bytes": 866542977024,
  "files_written_wal": 2,
  "files_written_sst": 3,
  "bytes_written_wal": 32424281934,
  "bytes_written_sst": 25382201
  }

  As we can see the log_compactions is 0, which means it's never compacted and the log file size(log_bytes) is already 800+G. After the compaction, the log file size would reduced to around 
  1 G

  Here is the PR[1] that addressed this bug, we need to backport this to ubuntu 12.2.13
