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.

Allow the creation of conventional zones by adding the zone_nr_conv
configuration attribute. This new attribute is used only for zoned devices
and indicates the number of conventional zones to create. The default value
is 0. Since host-managed zoned block devices must always have at least one
sequential zone, if the value of zone_nr_conv is larger than or equal to
the total number of zones of the device nr_zones, zone_nr_conv is
automatically changed to nr_zones - 1.

Dispatching a report zones command through the request queue is a major
pain due to the command reply payload rewriting necessary. Given that
blkdev_report_zones() is executing everything synchronously, implement
report zones as a block device file operation instead, allowing major
simplification of the code in many places.
sd, null-blk, dm-linear and dm-flakey being the only block device
drivers supporting exposing zoned block devices, these drivers are
modified to provide the device side implementation of the
report_zones() block device file operation.
For device mappers, a new report_zones() target type operation is
defined so that the upper block layer calls blkdev_report_zones() can
be propagated down to the underlying devices of the dm targets.
Implementation for this new operation is added to the dm-linear and
dm-flakey targets.

The supported added for zones in null_blk seem to assume that only rq
based operation is possible. But this depends on the queue_mode setting,
if this is set to 0, then cmd->bio is what we need to be operating on.
Right now any attempt to load null_blk with queue_mode=0 will
insta-crash, since cmd->rq is NULL and null_handle_cmd() assumes it to
always be set.
Make the zoned code deal with bio's instead, or pass in the
appropriate sector/nr_sectors instead.

Adds support for exposing a null_blk device through the zone device
interface.
The interface is managed with the parameters zoned and zone_size.
If zoned is set, the null_blk instance registers as a zoned block
device. The zone_size parameter defines how big each zone will be.
