dm zoned: Fix random zone reclaim selection



Commit 2094045f ("dm zoned: prefer full zones for reclaim")
modified dmz_get_rnd_zone_for_reclaim() to add a search for the buffer
zone with the heaviest weight as an optimal candidate for reclaim. This
modification uses the zone pointer variabl "last" which is set only once
and never modified as zones are scanned, resulting in the search being
inefective. Furthermore, if the selected buffer zone at the end of the
search loop is active or already locked for reclaim,
dmz_get_rnd_zone_for_reclaim() returns NULL even if other random zones
with a lesser weight can be reclaimed.

To fix the search and to guarantee that reclaim can make forward
progress, fix dmz_get_rnd_zone_for_reclaim() loop to correctly find
the buffer zone with the heaviest weight using the variable maxw_z.
Also make sure to fallback to finding the first random zone that can
be reclaimed if this best candidate zone cannot be reclaimed.

While at it, also fix the device index check to consider only random
zones, ignoring cache zones belonging to the cache device if one is
used as that device does not have a reclaim process.
