mainlining shenanigans

Allocating an extent from a block group can fail for various reasons. When an allocation from a dedicated block group (for tree-log or relocation data) fails, we need to unregister it as a dedicated one so that we can allocate a new block group for the dedicated one. However, we are returning early when the block group in case it is read-only, fully used, or not be able to activate the zone. As a result, we keep the non-usable block group as a dedicated one, leading to further allocation failure. With many block groups, the allocator will iterate hopeless loop to find a free extent, results in a hung task. Fix the issue by delaying the return and doing the proper cleanups.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
