If the device underlying a zoned target is removed, its capacity is set
to 0 and blkdev_report_zones() returns 0 without reporting any zones.
The mapped device keeps its old capacity, so args->zone_idx and
args->next_sector never advance and dm_blk_do_report_zones() loops
forever. On non-preemptible kernels this causes soft lockups and RCU
stalls.
The following sequence of commands triggers the hang:
modprobe scsi_debug zbc=managed dev_size_mb=1024 zone_size_mb=64
udevadm settle
echo '0 2097152 linear /dev/sda 0' | dmsetup create lin
echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/device/delete
blkzone report -o 0 -c 1 /dev/mapper/lin
Fix this by returning -EIO when a target reports no zones. The target
always maps args->next_sector, so a zero return means the underlying
device no longer covers that sector.
