A recent bug report uncovered a scenario where a filesystem never runs with freespace_initialized, and therefore the user observes significantly degraded write performance by virtue of running the early bucket allocator. The associated bug aside, the primary cause of the performance drop in this particular instance is that the early bucket allocator does not update the allocation cursor. This means that every allocation walks the alloc btree from the first bucket of the associated device looking for a bucket marked as free space. Update the early allocator code to set the alloc cursor to the last processed position in the tree, similar to how the freelist allocator behaves. With the alloc_cursor being updated, the retry logic also needs to be updated to restart from the beginning of the device when a free bucket is not available between the cursor and the end of the device. Track the restart position in a first_bucket variable to make the code a bit more easily readable and consistent with the freelist allocator.
