Yes, I understand that part and it's what the earlier conversion of
IBLOCK to use blkdev_issue_zeroout() already does.

Once the blkdev_issue_zeroout() conversion is in place then LBPRZ can
always be set to one for IBLOCK using blkdev_issue_zeroout().

The point is this is not in -rc1, which as-is breaks LBPRZ compat for a
release.
