In preparation for allowing BIO based device drivers to use zone write
plugging and its zone append emulation, allow these drivers to call
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() so that all zone resources necessary to zone
write plugging can be initialized.

To do so, remove the check in blk_revalidate_disk_zones() restricting
the use of this function to mq request-based drivers to allow also
BIO-based drivers to use it. This is safe to do as long as the
BIO-based block device queue is already setup and usable, as it should,
and can be safely frozen.

The helper function disk_need_zone_resources() is added to control the
allocation and initialization of the zone write plug hash table and
of the conventional zone bitmap only for mq devices and for BIO-based
devices that require zone append emulation.
