Improve static type checking by using the new blk_opf_t type for variables
that represent a request operation combined with request flags. Rename
those variables from 'op' into 'opf'.

Secure erase is a very different operation from discard in that it is
a data integrity operation vs hint.  Fully split the limits and helper
infrastructure to make the separation more clear.

Allow block device to be configured in the buffered I/O mode by using
the file backend. In this way now we can use cache for the block
device namespace which shows significant performance improvement.

We update the block device ns enable function and return early when
buffered_io flag is set.

Pass the block_device that we plan to use this bio for and the
operation to bio_init to optimize the assignment.  A NULL block_device
can be passed, both for the passthrough case on a raw request_queue and

Also move the gfp_mask argument after the nr_vecs argument for a much

NVMe TP 4053 – Zoned Namespaces (ZNS) allows host software to
communicate with a non-volatile memory subsystem using zones for NVMe
protocol-based controllers. NVMeOF already support the ZNS NVMe
Protocol compliant devices on the target in the passthru mode. There
are generic zoned block devices like  Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR)
HDDs that are not based on the NVMe protocol.

This patch adds ZNS backend support for non-ZNS zoned block devices as
NVMeOF targets.

This support includes implementing the new command set NVME_CSI_ZNS,
adding different command handlers for ZNS command set such as NVMe
Identify Controller, NVMe Identify Namespace, NVMe Zone Append,
NVMe Zone Management Send and NVMe Zone Management Receive.

With the new command set identifier, we also update the target command
effects logs to reflect the ZNS compliant commands.
