scsi: block: Improve checks in blk_revalidate_disk_zones()
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() implements checks of the zones of a zoned
block device, verifying that the zone size is a power of 2 number of
sectors, that all zones (except possibly the last one) have the same
size and that zones cover the entire addressing space of the device.
While these checks are appropriate to verify that well tested hardware
devices have an adequate zone configurations, they lack in certain areas
which may result in issues with emulated devices implemented with user
drivers such as ublk or tcmu. Specifically, this function does not
check if the device driver indicated support for the mandatory zone
append writes, that is, if the device max_zone_append_sectors queue
limit is set to a non-zero value. Additionally, invalid zones such as
a zero length zone with a start sector equal to the device capacity will
not be detected and result in out of bounds use of the zone bitmaps
prepared with the callback function blk_revalidate_zone_cb().
Improve blk_revalidate_disk_zones() to address these inadequate checks,
relying on the fact that all device drivers supporting zoned block
devices must set the device zone size (chunk_sectors queue limit) and
the max_zone_append_sectors queue limit before executing this function.
The check for a non-zero max_zone_append_sectors value is done in
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() before executing the zone report. The zone
report callback function blk_revalidate_zone_cb() is also modified to
add a check that a zone start is below the device capacity.
The check that the zone size is a power of 2 number of sectors is moved
to blk_revalidate_disk_zones() as the zone size is already known.
Similarly, the number of zones of the device can be calculated in
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() before executing the zone report.
The kdoc comment for blk_revalidate_disk_zones() is also updated to
mention that device drivers must set the device zone size and the
max_zone_append_sectors queue limit before calling this function.
