Performing a BLKREPORTZONE operation should be allowed under the same
permissions as read(). (read() does not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

Remove the CAP_SYS_ADMIN requirement, and instead check that the fd was
successfully opened with FMODE_READ. This way BLKREPORTZONE will match
the access control requirement of read().
