[PATCH] btrfs: zoned: reset meta_write_pointer on zone reset

btrfs_reset_unused_block_groups() resets a block group's zone and sets
alloc_offset back to 0 so the space can be reused, but it leaves
meta_write_pointer pointing at the previous end of the zone.
Once the block group is reactivated and reused for metadata, newly
allocated tree blocks live before that stale write pointer.
btrfs_check_meta_write_pointer() then sees them behind the write pointer,
so they can never be written out in sequential order: the dirty extent
buffers are stranded and pin their btree_inode folios until unmount.
Reset meta_write_pointer back to the start of the block group for
metadata and system block groups.
