Hi All,

This patch set adds zoned storage support to `ublk`. The first two patches do
some house cleaning in preparation for the last patch. The last patch adds
support for report_zones and the following operations:

 - REQ_OP_ZONE_OPEN
 - REQ_OP_ZONE_CLOSE
 - REQ_OP_ZONE_FINISH
 - REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET
 - REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND

A user space component based on ubdsrv is available for testing [1] with the
"loop" target.

Read/write and zone operations are tested with zenfs [2].

The zone append path is tested with fio -> zonefs -> ublk -> null_blk.

The series is based on v6.5-rc4.

Changes for v10
 - Remove IO flag UBLK_IO_FLAG_ZONE_APPEND
 - Rename ublk_rq_data.nr_sectors to nr_zones
 - Change UAPI by adding field `nr_zones` in union with
   `ublksrv_io_desc.nr_sectors` and use zone count instead of sector count when
   applicable
 - Add documentation suggested Ming to UAPI `UBLK_IO_OP_REPORT_ZONES` and
   `ublksrv_io_cmd`
 - Updated user space component [1]
