Mike,

Just to be extra sure, I checked this again. Since for zoned block devices the
mapping of a target must be zoned aligned and a zone append command is always
fully contained within a zone, we do not need this check. The stacked limits and
submit_bio() code will fail a zone append command that is too large or that
spans zones before we get here.

That is of course assuming that the target does not expose zones that are mapped
using multiple chunks from different devices. There is currently no target doing
that, so this is OK. We can safely drop this patch.

Thanks.
