Isn't it too costly to call btrfs_zoned_should_reclaim() every time
something updated? Can we wake up it in btrfs_mark_bg_to_reclaim and
btrfs_mark_bg_unused ?

Also, looking into btrfs_zoned_should_reclaim(), it sums device->bytes_used
for each fs_devices->devices. And, device->bytes_used is set at
create_chunk() or at btrfs_remove_chunk(). Isn't it feasible to do the
calculation only there?
