btrfs: zoned: cache reported zone during mount

commit 16beac87 upstream.

When mounting a device, we are reporting the zones twice: once for
checking the zone attributes in btrfs_get_dev_zone_info and once for
loading block groups' zone info in
btrfs_load_block_group_zone_info(). With a lot of block groups, that
leads to a lot of REPORT ZONE commands and slows down the mount
process.

This patch introduces a zone info cache in struct
btrfs_zoned_device_info. The cache is populated while in
btrfs_get_dev_zone_info() and used for
btrfs_load_block_group_zone_info() to reduce the number of REPORT ZONE
commands. The zone cache is then released after loading the block
groups, as it will not be much effective during the run time.

Benchmark: Mount an HDD with 57,007 block groups
Before patch: 171.368 seconds
After patch: 64.064 seconds

While it still takes a minute due to the slowness of loading all the
block groups, the patch reduces the mount time by 1/3.
