[Octopus] Beware the on-disk conversion

Hi,

As the upgrade documentation tells:
> Note that the first time each OSD starts, it will do a format
> conversion to improve the accounting for “omap” data. This may
> take a few minutes to as much as a few hours (for an HDD with lots
> of omap data). You can disable this automatic conversion with:

What the documentation does not say is that this process takes a lot of
memory

I am upgrading a rusty cluster from Nautilus, you can check out the ram
consumption as attachment

First, we have a 3TB osd conversion: it tooks ~15min, and 19GB of memory

Then, we have a larger 6TB osd conversion: it tooks more than 2 hours,
and 35GB of memory

Finally, you have the largest 10TB osd: only 1H15, but 52GB of memory
