Since the zoned filesystem requires sequential write out of metadata, we
cannot proceed with a hole in tree-log pages. When such a hole exists,
btree_write_cache_pages() will return -EAGAIN. We cannot wait for the range
to be written, because it will cause a deadlock. So, let's bail out to a
full commit in this case.

This patch solves a regression introduced by fixing patch 40. I'm
sorry for the confusing patch numbering.
