Describe what this PR does

Instead of passing lazy_itable_init=1 and lazy_journal_init=1 to mkfs.ext4,
pass assume_storage_prezeroed=1 which is stronger and allows the filesystem
to skip inode table zeroing completely instead of simply doing it lazily.

Closes: #4948

make sure that you only do this when mkfs.ext4 supports the option, you'll need to add some form of detection, ideally with something like sync.Once.
