This is the 1/3 patch to enable tree log on ZONED mode.
The tree-log feature does not work on ZONED mode as is. Blocks for a
tree-log tree are allocated mixed with other metadata blocks, and btrfs
writes and syncs the tree-log blocks to devices at the time of fsync(),
which is different timing from a global transaction commit. As a result,
both writing tree-log blocks and writing other metadata blocks become
non-sequential writes that ZONED mode must avoid.
We can introduce a dedicated block group for tree-log blocks so that
tree-log blocks and other metadata blocks can be separated write streams.
As a result, each write stream can now be written to devices separately.
"fs_info->treelog_bg" tracks the dedicated block group and btrfs assign
"treelog_bg" on-demand on tree-log block allocation time.
This commit extends the zoned block allocator to use the block group.

Tho if you have to touch this thing again I'd like to see a helper for clearing
the fs_info->treelog_bg, since that code snippet is duplicated, but it's not a
big deal. Thanks,
Josef
