xfs: rework zone GC buffer management

The double buffering where just one scratch area is used at a time does
not efficiently use the available memory.  It was originally implemented
when GC I/O could happen out of order, but that was removed before
upstream submission to avoid fragmentation.  Now that all GC I/Os are
processed in order, just use a number of buffers as a simple ring buffer.

For a synthetic benchmark that fills 256MiB HDD zones and punches out
holes to free half the space this leads to a decrease of GC time by
a little more than 25%.

Thanks to Hans Holmberg <hans.holmberg@wdc.com> for testing and
benchmarking.
