btrfs: test active zone tracking
A ZNS device limits the number of active zones, which is the number of
zones can be written at the same time. To deal with the limit, btrfs's
zoned mode tracks which zone (corresponds to a block group on the SINGLE
profile) is active, and finish a zone if necessary.
This test checks if the active zone tracking and the finishing of zones
works properly. First, it fills <number of max active zones> zones
mostly. And, run some data/metadata stress workload to force btrfs to use a
new zone.
This test fails on an older kernel (e.g, 5.18.2) like below.
