The current extent allocator tries to allocate a new block group when the existing block groups do not have enough space. On a ZNS device, a new block group means a new active zone. If the number of active zones has already reached the max_active_zones, activating a new zone needs to finish an existing zone, leading to wasting the free space there. So, instead, it should reuse the existing active block groups as much as possible when we can't activate any other zones without sacrificing an already activated block group. While at it, I converted find_free_extent_update_loop() to check the found_extent() case early and made the other conditions simpler.

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.
