Add the description of the zoned, nr_zones and chunk_sectors sysfs queue attributes to Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.txt. The description of the zoned and chunk_sector attributes are mostly copied from ABI/testing/sysfs-block. While at it, also fix a typo in the description of the io_poll_delay attribute. nr_zones description is also added to ABI/testing/sysfs-block and contyact email address updated for the zoned attribute.
