Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:

 - Fix autoloading of drivers from stat*(2)

 - Fix losing read-ahead setting one suspend/resume, when a device is
   re-probed.

 - Fix race between setting the block size and page cache updates.
   Includes a helper that a coming XFS fix will use as well.

 - ublk cancelation fixes.

 - ublk selftest additions and fixes.

 - NVMe pull via Christoph:
      - fix an out-of-bounds access in nvmet_enable_port (Richard
        Weinberger)

{bdev,disk}_zone_capacity() takes block_device or gendisk and sector position
and returns the zone capacity of the corresponding zone.

With that, move disk_nr_zones() and blk_zone_plug_bio() to consolidate them in
the same #ifdef block.

<title>fs: move the bdex_statx call to vfs_getattr_nosec</title>

Currently bdex_statx is only called from the very high-level
vfs_statx_path function, and thus bypassing it for in-kernel calls
to vfs_getattr or vfs_getattr_nosec.

This breaks querying the block ѕize of the underlying device in the
loop driver and also is a pitfall for any other new kernel caller.

Move the call into the lowest level helper to ensure all callers get
the right results.

Fixes: 2d985f8c6b91 ("vfs: support STATX_DIOALIGN on block devices")
Fixes: f4774e92aab8 ("loop: take the file system minimum dio alignment into account")

Currently, the block debugfs attributes (tags, tags_bitmap, sched_tags,
and sched_tags_bitmap) are protected using q-&gt;sysfs_lock. However, these
attributes are updated in multiple scenarios:
- During driver probe method
- During an elevator switch/update
- During an nr_hw_queues update
- When writing to the sysfs attribute nr_requests

All these update paths (except driver probe method, which doesn't
require any protection) are already protected using q-&gt;elevator_lock. To
ensure consistency and proper synchronization, replace q-&gt;sysfs_lock
with q-&gt;elevator_lock for protecting these debugfs attributes.

<title>block: protect hctx attributes/params using q-&gt;elevator_lock</title>

Currently, hctx attributes (nr_tags, nr_reserved_tags, and cpu_list)
are protected using `q-&gt;sysfs_lock`. However, these attributes can be
updated in multiple scenarios:
  - During the driver's probe method.
  - When updating nr_hw_queues.
  - When writing to the sysfs attribute nr_requests,
    which can modify nr_tags.
The nr_requests attribute is already protected using q-&gt;elevator_lock,
but none of the update paths actually use q-&gt;sysfs_lock to protect hctx
attributes. So to ensure proper synchronization, replace q-&gt;sysfs_lock
with q-&gt;elevator_lock when reading hctx attributes through sysfs.

Additionally, blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues allocates and updates hctx.
The allocation of hctx is protected using q-&gt;elevator_lock, however,
updating hctx params happens without any protection, so safeguard hctx
param update path by also using q-&gt;elevator_lock.
