Tree manipulating operations like merging nodes often release
once-allocated tree nodes. Btrfs cleans such nodes so that pages in the
node are not uselessly written out. On ZONED volumes, however, such
optimization blocks the following IOs as the cancellation of the write out
of the freed blocks breaks the sequential write sequence expected by the
device.
This patch introduces a list of clean and unwritten extent buffers that
have been released in a transaction. Btrfs redirty the buffer so that
btree_write_cache_pages() can send proper bios to the devices.
Besides it clears the entire content of the extent buffer not to confuse
raw block scanners e.g. btrfsck. By clearing the content,
csum_dirty_buffer() complains about bytenr mismatch, so avoid the checking
and checksum using newly introduced buffer flag EXTENT_BUFFER_NO_CHECK.
