dm_target is required inside dmz_put_zoned_device() for dm_put_device()
calls. I can't see a way for referencing it via dmz_target. Do you mean
passing additional second argument like
dmz_put_zoned_device(struct dmz_target *dmz, struct dm_target *ti) ?

BTW, I also think it can be renamed to dmz_put_zoned_devices().
