Re: osd_snap_trim_sleep keeps locks PG during sleep?

Snaptrimming is now in the main op threadpool along with scrub,
recovery, and client IO.  I don't think it's a good idea to use any of
the _sleep configs anymore -- the intention is that by setting the
priority low, they won't actually be scheduled much.
