It looks like some missed accounting. You can just disable wbt for now, would
be a useful data point to see if that fixes it. Just do:

echo 0 > /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/wbt_lat_usec

and that will disable writeback throttling on that device.

I'll take a look at this, but most likely not until start next week...
