btrfs: zoned: fix deadlock waiting for ticket during data relocation
When performing data relocation on a zoned filesystem, BTRFS can deadlock
in handle_reserve_tickets(). The relocation process is waiting on a space
reservation ticket that can never be fulfilled, because the relocation
itself is the operation responsible for freeing up that space.
Fix this by introducing a new flush state,
BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_ZONED_RELOCATION, specifically for data chunk
allocation during zoned relocation. Like
BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_FREE_SPACE_INODE, this state uses
priority_reclaim_data_space() instead of the normal flushing path, which
avoids re-entering the relocation code and breaking the deadlock cycle.
In btrfs_alloc_data_chunk_ondemand(), select this new flush state when the
inode belongs to a data relocation root on a zoned filesystem.
