btrfs: zoned: optimize hint byte for zoned allocator
Writing sequentially to a huge file on btrfs on a SMR HDD revealed a decline of the performance (220 MiB/s to 30 MiB/s after 500 minutes). The performance goes down because of increased latency of the extent allocation, which is induced by a traversing of a lot of full block groups. So, this patch optimizes the ffe_ctl->hint_byte by choosing a block group with sufficient size from the active block group list, which does not contain full block groups. After applying the patch, the performance is maintained well.
