This adds support for REQ_ALLOCATE extension of REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operation, which encourages a block device driver to just allocate blocks (or mark them allocated) instead of actual blocks zeroing. REQ_ALLOCATE is aimed to be used for network filesystems providing a block device interface. Also, block devices, which map a file on other filesystem (like loop), may use this for less fragmentation and batching fallocate() requests. Hypervisors like QEMU may introduce optimizations of clusters allocations based on this. BLKDEV_ZERO_ALLOCATE is a new corresponding flag for blkdev_issue_zeroout(). Stacking devices start from zero max_allocate_sectors limit for now, and the support is going to be implemented separate for each device in the future.
