xfs: set s_min_writeback_pages for zoned file systems

Set s_min_writeback_pages to the zone size, so that writeback always
writes up to a full zone.  This ensures that writeback does not add
spurious file fragmentation when writing back a large number of
files that are larger than the zone size.

/*
* The writeback code switches between inodes regularly to provide
* fairness. The default lower bound is 4MiB, but for zoned file
* systems we want to increase that both to reduce seeks, but also more
* importantly so that workloads that writes files in a multiple of the
* zone size do not get fragmented and require garbage collection when
* they shouldn't. Increase is to the zone size capped by the max
* extent len.
*
* Note that because s_min_writeback_pages is a superblock field, this
* value also get applied to non-zoned files on the data device if
* there are any. On typical zoned setup all data is on the RT device
* because using the more efficient sequential write required zones
* is the reason for using the zone allocator, and either the RT device
* and the (meta)data device are on the same block device, or the
* (meta)data device is on a fast SSD while the data on the RT device
* is on a SMR HDD. In any combination of the above cases enforcing
* the higher min_writeback_pages for non-RT inodes is either a noop
* or beneficial.
