fuzz: double the IOs to remove for every loop

Instead of removing IO instructions one by one, we can try deleting multiple
instructions at once. According to the locality of reference, we double the
number of instructions to remove for the next round and recover it to one
once we fail.

This patch is usually significant for large input.
