[PATCH v5 00/13] Improve handling of offline and read-only zones

Jens,

This patch series refactor some zone related code and improves the
caching iof zone information and the management of zone write plugs in
preparation for fully supporting storage element depopulation.
Most of the functional changes here are around the management of zone
write plugs to better handle read-only and offline zones as these
conditions can become more common with storage element being depopulated.

Changes from v4:
 - Renamed bdev_check_zone_mgmt() to bdev_zone_mgmt_allowed() in patch 10
 - Added Fixes tag to patch 13
 - Added review tags

Changes from v3:
 - Rebased on latest block/for-next
 - Small modification to patch 4 to address Sashiko review comments
   complaining about the potential for out of bound accesses to the zone
   state array.
 - Added review tags

Changes from v2:
 - Minor changes to patches 1, 5, 7 and 8 to address some of the Sashiko
   review comments (a lot of these comments point to cases that cannot
   happen in practice or that are non-fatal and would generate errors due
   to a user invalid use of the device).
 - Applied review tags

Changes from v1:
 - Fixup error path change in patch 1
 - Use WARN_ON_ONCE in patch 4
 - Dropped patch 14
 - Applied review tags
