This adds a new block layer operation to offload verifying a range of
LBAs. This support is needed in order to provide file systems and
fabrics, kernel components to offload LBA verification when it is
supported by the hardware controller. In case hardware offloading is
not supported then we provide API to emulate the same. The prominent
example of that is SCSI and NVMe Verify command. We also provide
an emulation of the same operation that can be used in case H/W does
not support verify. This is still useful when block device is remotely
attached e.g. using NVMeOF.

+Description:
+ Devices that support verify operation in which a single
+ request can be issued to verify the range of the contiguous
+ blocks on the storage without any payload in the request.
+ This can be used to optimize verifying LBAs on the device
+ without reading by offloading functionality. verify_max_bytes
+ indicates how many bytes can be written in a single verify
+ command. If verify_max_bytes is 0, verify operation is not
+ supported by the device.
