Hi,

As per Christoph's request this patch incorporates Hannes' cache of zone
information.

The approach is to provide the same blkreport format as would be done 
when BLK_DEV_ZONED is not enabled via an ioctl.
Reset WP, Open, and Close zone will update the zone cache.

Using blkdev_issue_zone_report() from within the kernel the report
will still come directly from the media. I am considering an option
for the ioctl to force pulling the zone report from the media when
BLK_DEV_ZONED is enabled and using the resulting information to
refresh the zone cache. It is not clear that this is useful so I
have not included that in this patch.

The follow-on patch just enables the zone cache to be populated
using a Seagate's HostAware drive.

This series is based off of Linus current tip post (f38d2e5313f0af..)
and builds on top of the previous series of block layer support:
    Add ioctl to issue ZBC/ZAC commands via block layer
    Add bio/request flags to issue ZBC/ZAC commands

as well as the series post by Hannes'
    sd_zbc: Fix handling of ZBC read after write pointer
    sd: Limit messages for ZBC disks capacity change
    sd: Implement support for ZBC devices
    sd: Implement new RESET_WP provisioning mode
    sd: configure ZBC devices
...
