Parallelize the logs in the online backup image

If you have a large amount of transaction logs created during an online backup operation, and logs are include in the backup image, at the end of the backup Db2 adds the log files to the backup file. Right now it appears to be a serialized operation; adding one log at a time. We have seen this process take up to 12+ hours to complete where there is a large amount of logs created. By parallelizing the logs in the backup image, this could speed up the time it takes to add logs to the backup image, and reduce the overall backup times for systems which generate a lot of logs during the online backup.
