[PATCH 07/14] block: drop all zone write plugs on capacity changes

If during revalidation, we detect a capacity change for a zoned block
device, e.g. due to a storage element removal on an HDD, we can assume
that the device was reformatted, which implies that all sequential zones
are empty. For such case, we can remove and free all zone write plugs in
the gendisk hash table by marking them as dead, thus avoiding also to
leave zone write plugs for zones that are beyond the new device capacity
in the disk hash table.

Introduce the function disk_revalidate_capacity() to do this and call this
new function at the beginning of blk_revalidate_disk_zones(), so that the
zone revalidation process can re-create, if needed, any zone write plug
for sequential zones that are not empty.

The checks on the capacity and zone size that were in
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() are moved to disk_revalidate_capacity() and
if true, also trigger dropping all zone write plugs.
