bcachefs: don't spin in rebalance when background target is not usable

If a bcachefs filesystem is configured with a background device
(disk group), rebalance will relocate data to this device in the
background by checking extent keys for whether they currently reside
in the specified target. For keys that do not, rebalance performs a
read/write cycle to allow the write path to properly relocate data.

If the background target is not usable (read-only, for example),
however, the write path doesn't actually move data to another
device. Instead, rebalance spins indefinitely reading and rewriting
the same data over and over to the same device. If the background
target is made available again, the rebalance picks this up,
relocates the data, and eventually terminates.

To avoid this spinning behavior, update the rebalance background
target logic to not only check whether the extent is not in the
target, but whether the target is actually usable as well. If not,
then don't mark the key for rewrite.
