Both of these are metadata only commands that are not issued by the
writeback code and not directly relevant to the writeback bandwith.

This adds a new block layer operation to zero out a range of
LBAs. This allows to implement zeroing for devices that don't use
either discard with a predictable zero pattern or WRITE SAME of zeroes.
The prominent example of that is NVMe with the Write Zeroes command,
but in the future, this should also help with improving the way
zeroing discards work. For this operation, suitable entry is exported in
sysfs which indicate the number of maximum bytes allowed in one
write zeroes operation by the device.

Currently there's no way to enable wbt if it's not enabled in the
kernel config by default for a device. Allow a write to the
'wbt_lat_usec' queue sysfs file to enable wbt.
This is useful for both the kernel config case, but also if the
device is CFQ managed and it was turned off by default.

Make it clear that we are disabling wbt for the specified queued,
if it was enabled by default. This is in preparation for allowing
users to re-enable wbt, and not have it disabled automatically
again.

Allow a write of '-1' to reset the default latency target for
a given device. This removes knowledge of the different default
settings for rotational vs non-rotational from user space.

The newly added driver causes a harmless warning in some configurations:
block/blk-wbt.c:250:1: error: ‘inline’ is not at beginning of declaration [-Werror=old-style-declaration]
static bool inline stat_sample_valid(struct blk_rq_stat *stat)
This makes it use the expected format for the declaration.

Since we have proper enums for the stats directions, use them.

Again a leftover from when the throttling code was generic. Now that we
just have the block user, get rid of the stat ops and indirections.

The bdi was a leftover from when the code was block layer agnostic.
Now that we just support a block layer user, store the queue directly.

We can hook this up to the block layer, to help throttle buffered
writes.
wbt registers a few trace points that can be used to track what is
happening in the system:
wbt_lat: 259:0: latency 2446318
wbt_stat: 259:0: rmean=2446318, rmin=2446318, rmax=2446318, rsamples=1,
wmean=518866, wmin=15522, wmax=5330353, wsamples=57
wbt_step: 259:0: step down: step=1, window=72727272, background=8, normal=16, max=32
This shows a sync issue event (wbt_lat) that exceeded it's time. wbt_stat
dumps the current read/write stats for that window, and wbt_step shows a
step down event where we now scale back writes. Each trace includes the
device, 259:0 in this case.
