block: introduce zoned block devices zone write locking
Components relying only on the request_queue structure for accessing
block devices (e.g. I/O schedulers) have a limited knowledged of the
device characteristics. In particular, the device capacity cannot be
easily discovered, which for a zoned block device also result in the
inability to easily know the number of zones of the device (the zone
size is indicated by the chunk_sectors field of the queue limits).
Introduce the nr_zones field to the request_queue structure to simplify
access to this information. Also, add the bitmap seq_zone_bitmap which
indicates which zones of the device are sequential zones (write
preferred or write required) and the bitmap seq_zones_wlock which
indicates if a zone is write locked, that is, if a write request
targeting a zone was dispatched to the device. These fields are
initialized by the low level block device driver (sd.c for ZBC/ZAC
disks). They are not initialized by stacking drivers (device mappers)
handling zoned block devices (e.g. dm-linear).
Using this, I/O schedulers can introduce zone write locking to control
request dispatching to a zoned block device and avoid write request
reordering by limiting to at most a single write request per zone
outside of the scheduler at any time.
