Is it documented somewhere what dd->zone_lock protects and when that lock should be
acquired?

Can this change be folded into the patch that introduced that comment?

Will it be easy to users who analyze a kernel log to figure out why that
message has been generated? Should that message perhaps include the block
device name, zone number and request sector number?
