To implement the NVMe Zone Append command on the NVMeOF target side for generic Zoned Block Devices with NVMe Zoned Namespaces interface, we need to build the bios with hardware limitations, i.e. we use bio_add_hw_page() with queue_max_zone_append_sectors() instead of bio_add_page(). Without this API being exported NVMeOF target will require to use bio_add_hw_page() caller bio_iov_iter_get_pages(). That results in extra work which is inefficient. Export the API so that NVMeOF ZBD over ZNS backend can use it to build Zone Append bios.
