It fixes the following (mgr debug output):

0.001155 -> 0.001152

BUT:
# ceph balancer eval myplan
plan myplan final score 0.001180 (lower is better)

So the final plan does NOT contain the expected optimization. The
deepcopy fixes it.

After:
# ceph balancer eval myplan
plan myplan final score 0.001152 (lower is better)

Already tried this doesn't help much.
