    block: Introduce REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND · 0512a75b

    Define REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND to append-write sectors to a zone of a zoned
    block device. This is a no-merge write operation.
    
    A zone append write BIO must:
    * Target a zoned block device
    * Have a sector position indicating the start sector of the target zone
    * The target zone must be a sequential write zone
    * The BIO must not cross a zone boundary
    * The BIO size must not be split to ensure that a single range of LBAs
      is written with a single command.
    
    Implement these checks in generic_make_request_checks() using the
    helper function blk_check_zone_append(). To avoid write append BIO
    splitting, introduce the new max_zone_append_sectors queue limit
    attribute and ensure that a BIO size is always lower than this limit.
    Export this new limit through sysfs and check these limits in bio_full().
    
    Also when a LLDD can't dispatch a request to a specific zone, it
    will return BLK_STS_ZONE_RESOURCE indicating this request needs to
    be delayed, e.g.  because the zone it will be dispatched to is still
    write-locked. If this happens set the request aside in a local list
    to continue trying dispatching requests such as READ requests or a
    WRITE/ZONE_APPEND requests targetting other zones. This way we can
    still keep a high queue depth without starving other requests even if
    one request can't be served due to zone write-locking.
    
    Finally, make sure that the bio sector position indicates the actual
    write position as indicated by the device on completion.
