Innobackupex fails when using --throttle

[Agustín]

Innobackupex 2.4.1 is failing when using --throttle:

# strace -f -s1024 -o/tmp/innobackupex.strace /usr/bin/innobackupex --throttle=25 --no-timestamp /tmp/backup/backup_1

[...output trimmed...]

Attaching strace output.

[Agustín (agustin-gallego)]

Attaching output of successful run with no --throttle argument set.

[Sergei Glushchenko (sergei.glushchenko)]

Looks like we don't have --throttle covered in our test suite.

[pako (pakonet)]

We have exactly the same problem trying to backup MySQL 5.7.11 slave server using Xtrabackup 2.4.1 with --throttle enabled.
