drbd: new configuration parameter c-min-rate

We now track the data rate of locally submitted resync related requests,
and can thus detect non-resync activity on the lower level device.

If the current sync rate is above c-min-rate, and the lower level device
appears to be busy, we throttle the resyncer.
