[pbs-devel] [PATCH v5 proxmox-backup 6/8] datastore: use custom GC atime cutoff if set

[Christian Ebner]

Use the user configured atime cutoff over the default 24h 5m
margin if explicitly set, otherwise fallback to the default.

Move the minimum atime calculation based on the atime cutoff to the
sweep_unused_chunks() callside and pass in the calculated values, as
to have the logic in the same place.

Add log outputs shownig which cutoff and minimum access time is used
by the garbage collection.

changes since version 4:
- make gc-atime-cutoff independent from gc-atime-safety-check.
- Refactor cutoff calculation and log it together with the minimum
  atime.
- Conditionally also log in case of oldest writer is outside of range.
