Introduce the BIO flag BIO_ZONE_WRITE_LOCKED to indicate that a BIO owns the write lock of the zone it is targeting. This is the counterpart of the struct request flag RQF_ZONE_WRITE_LOCKED. This new BIO flag is reserved for now for zone write locking control for device mapper targets exposing a zoned block device. Since in this case, the lock flag must not be propagated to the struct request that will be used to process the BIO, a BIO private flag is used rather than changing the RQF_ZONE_WRITE_LOCKED request flag into a common REQ_XXX flag that could be used for both BIO and request. This avoids conflicts down the stack with the block IO scheduler zone write locking (in mq-deadline).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
