      During testing on SSD platform this was reported:

      CPU usage is in 95-100% range during obdfilter-survey. The perf trace looks very much like if LU-11347 is not applied but it is and OSS caches are disabled.

      This is due to the lifetime of pages vs the obdfilter/obdecho lifetime:

      dt_bufs_get / osd_bufs_get does allocates pages while
      dt_bufs_put / osd_bufs_put marks the pages up-to-date and recycles them.
      This is the typical pattern for longer lived osd threads.

      For obdecho the threads are short lived and so the pattern matches
      init/get/put/fini meaning the survey may not be a clear representation of actual osd performance.
