Depending on the valid block count within a section,
in the worst-case scenario, it is assumed that only
the last 3 segments in the section are valid (SEGS_PER_SEC 512)
#define DEF_GC_THREAD_MAX_SLEEP_TIME_ZONED 20
#define DEF_MIGRATION_WINDOW_GRANULARITY_ZONED 3
The time required to move a single section
before :
170 * 20ms + migrate 3segments
after :
migrate 3segments
