block: Enhance blk_revalidate_disk_zones()

For ZBC and ZAC zoned devices, the scsi driver revalidation processing
implemented by sd_revalidate_disk() includes a call to
sd_zbc_read_zones() which executes a full disk zone report used to
check that all zones of the disk are the same size. This processing is
followed by a call to blk_revalidate_disk_zones(), used to initialize
the device request queue zone bitmaps (zone type and zone write lock
bitmaps). To do so, blk_revalidate_disk_zones() also executes a full
device zone report to obtain zone types. As a result, the entire
zoned block device revalidation process includes two full device zone
report.

By moving the zone size checks into blk_revalidate_disk_zones(), this
process can be optimized to a single full device zone report, leading to
shorter device scan and revalidation times. This patch implements this
optimization, reducing the original full device zone report implemented
in sd_zbc_check_zones() to a single, small, report zones command
execution to obtain the size of the first zone of the device. Checks
whether all zones of the device are the same size as the first zone
size are moved to the generic blk_check_zone() function called from
blk_revalidate_disk_zones().

This optimization also has the following benefits:
1) fewer memory allocations in the scsi layer during disk revalidation
   as the potentailly large buffer for zone report execution is not
   needed.
2) Implement zone checks in a generic manner, reducing the burden on
   device driver which only need to obtain the zone size and check that
   this size is a power of 2 number of LBAs. Any new type of zoned
   block device will benefit from this.
