btrfs: reset block group size class when it becomes empty
Block group size classes are managed consistently everywhere.
Currently, btrfs_use_block_group_size_class() sets a block group's size
class to specialize it for a specific allocation size. However, this
size class remains "stale" even if the block group becomes completely
empty (both used and reserved bytes reach zero).
This happens in two scenarios:
1. When space reservations are freed (e.g., due to errors or transaction
aborts) via btrfs_free_reserved_bytes().
2. When the last extent in a block group is freed via
btrfs_update_block_group().
While size classes are advisory, a stale size class can cause
find_free_extent to unnecessarily skip candidate block groups during
initial search loops. This undermines the purpose of size classes to
reduce fragmentation by keeping block groups restricted to a specific
size class when they could be reused for any size.
Fix this by resetting the size class to BTRFS_BG_SZ_NONE whenever a
block group's used and reserved counts both reach zero. This ensures
that empty block groups are fully available for any allocation size in
the next cycle.
