Hmm yes, I've thought of adding a list_count() for the reclaim and 
unused lists, and only calling into should_reclaim if these lists have 
entries. Or even better !list_is_singular().

Oh sh*t! Right we should check bytes_used from all space_infos in 
btrfs_zoned_should_reclaim() and compare that to the disk total bytes.
