[PATCH 01/13] block: freeze queue when updating zone resources

Modify disk_update_zone_resources() to freeze the device queue before
updating the number of zones, zone capacity and other zone related
resources. The locking order resulting from the call to
queue_limits_commit_update_frozen() is preserved, that is, the queue
limits lock is first taken by calling queue_limits_start_update() before
freezing the queue, and the queue is unfrozen after executing
queue_limits_commit_update(), which replaces the call to
queue_limits_commit_update_frozen().

This change ensures that there are no in-flights I/Os when the zone
resources are updated due to a zone revalidation.

Fixes: 0b83c86b444a ("block: Prevent potential deadlock in blk_revalidate_disk_zones()")
