scsi: sd_zbc: Avoid that resetting a zone fails sporadically

Since SCSI scanning occurs asynchronously, since sd_revalidate_disk() is
called from sd_probe_async() and since sd_revalidate_disk() calls
sd_zbc_read_zones() it can happen that sd_zbc_read_zones() is called
concurrently with blkdev_report_zones() and/or blkdev_reset_zones().  That can
cause these functions to fail with -EIO because sd_zbc_read_zones() e.g. sets
q->nr_zones to zero before restoring it to the actual value, even if no drive
characteristics have changed.  Avoid that this can happen by making the
following changes:

- Protect the code that updates zone information with blk_queue_enter()
  and blk_queue_exit().
- Modify sd_zbc_setup_seq_zones_bitmap() and sd_zbc_setup() such that
  these functions do not modify struct scsi_disk before all zone
  information has been obtained.

Note: since commit 055f6e18e08f ("block: Make q_usage_counter also track
legacy requests"; kernel v4.15) the request queue freezing mechanism also
affects legacy request queues.
