Currently auto reclaim of unusable zones reclaims the block-groups in the order they have been added to the reclaim list. Change this to a greedy algorithm by sorting the list so we have the block-groups with the least amount of valid bytes reclaimed first. Note: we can't splice the block groups from reclaim_bgs to let the sort happen outside of the lock. The block groups can be still in use by other parts eg. via bg_list and we must hold unused_bgs_lock while processing them.

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.
