Zoned block device specification do not define the behavior of
discard/trim command as this command is generally replaced by the reset
write pointer (zone reset) command. Emulate this in null_blk by making
zoned and discard options mutually exclusive.

Move all zoned mode related code from null_blk_main.c to
null_blk_zoned.c, avoiding an ugly #ifdef in the process.
Rename null_zone_init() into null_init_zoned_dev(), null_zone_exit()
into null_free_zoned_dev() and add the new function
null_register_zoned_dev() to finalize the zoned dev setup before
add_disk().

<id>9dd44c7e998e66f749348d07a700034f513ea9ff</id>
<content type='text'>
For write operations issued to a null_blk device with zoned mode
enabled, the state and write pointer position of the zone targeted by
the command should be checked before badblocks and memory backing
are handled as the write may be first failed due to, for instance, a
sector position not aligned with the zone write pointer. This order of
checking for errors reflects more accuratly the behavior of physical
zoned devices.

Furthermore, the write pointer position of the target zone should be
incremented only and only if no errors are reported by badblocks and
memory backing handling.

To fix this, introduce the small helper function null_process_cmd()
which execute null_handle_badblocks() and null_handle_memory_backed()
and use this function in null_zone_write() to correctly handle write
requests to zoned null devices depending on the type and state of the
write target zone. Also call this function in null_handle_zoned() to
process read requests to zoned null devices.

null_process_cmd() is called directly from null_handle_cmd() for
regular null devices, resulting in no functional change for these type
of devices. To have symmetric names, the function null_handle_zoned()
is renamed to null_process_zoned_cmd().

Current make_request based drivers use either blk_alloc_queue_node or
blk_alloc_queue to allocate a queue, and then set up the make_request_fn
function pointer and a few parameters using the blk_queue_make_request
helper.  Simplify this by passing the make_request pointer to
blk_alloc_queue, and while at it merge the _node variant into the main
helper by always passing a node_id, and remove the superfluous gfp_mask
parameter.  A lower-level __blk_alloc_queue is kept for the blk-mq case.

As null_blk is a very good start point to test block layer, this patch
adds description and comments to 'timeout', 'requeue' and 'init_hctx' to
explain how to use fault injection with null_blk.

The nvme has similar with nvme_core.fail_request in the form of comment.

<title>null_blk: fix spurious IO errors after failed past-wp access</title>

Steps to reproduce:

	BLKRESETZONE zone 0

	// force EIO
	pwrite(fd, buf, 4096, 4096);

	[issue more IO including zone ioctls]

It will start failing randomly including IO to unrelated zones because of
-&gt;error "reuse". Trigger can be partition detection as well if test is not
run immediately which is even more entertaining.

The fix is of course to clear -&gt;error where necessary.
