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 v11
- Style fixes
- Use `kvmalloc()` instead of `__vmalloc()` for zone report buffer
