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. Based on previous patches from Damien Le Moal.
