Hi All,

This patch set adds zoned storage support to `ublk`. The first two patches does
some house cleaning in preparation for the last two patches. The third patch
adds support for report_zones and the following operations:

- REQ_OP_ZONE_OPEN
- REQ_OP_ZONE_CLOSE
- REQ_OP_ZONE_FINISH
- REQ_OP_ZONE_RES

The last patch adds support for REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND.

v3 [2] -> v4 changes:
- Split up v3 patches
- Add zone append support
- Change order of variables in `ublk_report_zones`

Read/write and zone operations are tested with zenfs [3].

The zone append path is tested with fio -> zonefs -> ublk -> null_blk.

The implementation of zone append requires ublk user copy feature, and therefore
the series is based on branch for-next (6afa337a3789) of [4].
