This was my first attempt at caching the last used zone. But it turns out
for O_DIRECT or RWF_DONTCACHE that operate concurrently or in very short
sequence, the bmap btree does not record a written extent yet, so it fails.
Because it then still finds the last written zone it can lead to a weird
ping-pong around a few zones with writers seeing different values.
Remove it entirely as the later added xfs_cached_zone actually does a
much better job enforcing the locality as the zone is associated with the
inode in the MRU cache as soon as the zone is selected.

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 reStructuredText 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.
