Introduce the BIO flag BIO_ZONE_WRITE_LOCKED to indicate that a BIO owns
the write lock of the zone it is targeting. This is the counterpart of
the struct request flag RQF_ZONE_WRITE_LOCKED. This new BIO flag is
reserved for now for zone write locking control for device mapper
targets exposing a zoned block device.

So normally we try to use a REQ_* flag instead of duplicate BIO_ and
RQF ones.  But I think this is a special case as the flag never gets
propagated.  Can you document that in the commit log?

With that:
