This series adds support to npo2 zoned devices in the block and nvme

Should any SCSI changes be included in this patch series? From sd_zbc.c:
if (!is_power_of_2(zone_blocks)) {
sd_printk(KERN_ERR, sdkp,
"Zone size %llu is not a power of two.\n",
zone_blocks);
return -EINVAL;
}
There are no non-power of 2 SMR drives on the market and no plans to have
any as far as I know. Users want power of 2 zone size. So I think it is
better to leave sd_zbc & scsi_debug as is for now.
Zoned UFS devices will support ZBC and may have a zone size that is not
a power of two.
Thanks,
Bart.
