[PATCH v4 5/8] block: introduce zone_write_granularity limit

Per ZBC and ZAC specifications, host-managed SMR hard-disks mandate that
all writes into sequential write required zones be aligned to the device
physical block size. However, NVMe ZNS does not have this constraint and
allows write operations into sequential zones to be aligned to the
device logical block size. This inconsistency does not help with
software portability across device types.
To solve this, introduce the zone_write_granularity queue limit to
indicate the alignment constraint, in bytes, of write operations into
zones of a zoned block device. This new limit is exported as a
read-only sysfs queue attribute and the helper
blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() introduced for drivers to set this
limit.
The function blk_queue_set_zoned() is modified to set this new limit to
the device logical block size by default. NVMe ZNS devices as well as
zoned nullb devices use this default value as is. The scsi disk driver
is modified to execute the blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() helper to
set the zone write granularity of host-managed SMR disks to the disk
physical block size.
The accessor functions queue_zone_write_granularity() and
bdev_zone_write_granularity() are also introduced.

+zone_write_granularity (RO)
+---------------------------
+This indicates the alignment constraint, in bytes, for write operations in
+sequential zones of zoned block devices (devices with a zoned attributed
+that reports "host-managed" or "host-aware"). This value is always 0 for
+regular block devices.
