We cannot use zone append for writing metadata, because the B-tree nodes have references to each other using logical address. Without knowing the address in advance, we cannot construct the tree in the first place. So we need to serialize write IOs for metadata. We cannot add a mutex around allocation and submission because metadata blocks are allocated in an earlier stage to build up B-trees. Add a zoned_meta_io_lock and hold it during metadata IO submission in btree_write_cache_pages() to serialize IOs. Furthermore, this adds a per-block group metadata IO submission pointer "meta_write_pointer" to ensure sequential writing, which can break when attempting to write back blocks in an unfinished transaction. If the writing out failed because of a hole and the write out is for data integrity (WB_SYNC_ALL), it returns EAGAIN. A caller like fsync() code should handle this properly e.g. by falling back to a full transaction commit.
