btrfs: zoned: use dedicated lock for data relocation

Browse source 
Currently, we use btrfs_inode_{lock,unlock}() to grant an exclusive
writeback of the relocation data inode in
btrfs_zoned_data_reloc_{lock,unlock}(). However, that can cause a deadlock
in the following path.

Thread A takes btrfs_inode_lock() and waits for metadata reservation by
e.g, waiting for writeback:

prealloc_file_extent_cluster()
  - btrfs_inode_lock(&inode->vfs_inode, 0);
  - btrfs_prealloc_file_range()
  ...
    - btrfs_replace_file_extents()
      - btrfs_start_transaction
      ...
        - btrfs_reserve_metadata_bytes()

Thread B (e.g, doing a writeback work) needs to wait for the inode lock to
continue writeback process:

do_writepages
  - btrfs_writepages
    - extent_writpages
      - btrfs_zoned_data_reloc_lock(BTRFS_I(inode));
        - btrfs_inode_lock()

The deadlock is caused by relying on the vfs_inode's lock. By using it, we
introduced unnecessary exclusion of writeback and
btrfs_prealloc_file_range(). Also, the lock at this point is useless as we
don't have any dirty pages in the inode yet.

Introduce fs_info->zoned_data_reloc_io_lock and use it for the exclusive
writeback.
