null_blk: add zoned config support information
If the kernel is built without CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED, a modprobe
of the null_blk driver with zoned=1 fails with 'Invalid argument'.
This can be confusing to users, prompting a search as to why the
parameter is invalid. To assist in that search, add a bit more
information to the failure, additionally adding to the documentation
that CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is needed for zoned=1.
