When allocating an erasure coding stripe, bcachefs will always reuse any partial stripes before reserving a new stripe. This causes unnecessary read amplification when preparing a stripe for writing. This patch changes bcachefs to always reserve new stripes first, only relying on stripe reuse when copygc needs more time to empty buckets from existing stripes.

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.
