cinder gets out of memory at json.dumps when doing a backup of a large volume

We are running cinder 17.2.0-1 on debian, using posix backend, and when trying to do a backup of a huge volume we always hit the error:
```

```

As there's a spike of memory usage right there (join of the chunks duplicates it).
