Problem
Currently we do a large number of heatmap uploads for tiny tenants. "tiny" in this context is defined as being less than a single layer in size. These uploads are triggered by atime changes rather than changes in the set of layers.
Uploading heatmaps for atime changes on small tenants isn't useful, because even without bumping these atimes, disk usage eviction still avoids evicting the largest resident layer of a tenant, which in practice keeps tiny/empty tenants mostly resident irrespective of atimes.
