<content type='text'>
Introduce the internal function blk_queue_clear_zone_settings() to
cleanup all limits and resources related to zoned block devices. This
new function is called from blk_queue_set_zoned() when a disk zoned
model is set to BLK_ZONED_NONE. This particular case can happens when a
partition is created on a host-aware scsi disk.

Instead of encoding of the bvec pool using magic bio flags, just use
a helper to find the pool based on the max_vecs value.

bvec_alloc always uses biovec_slabs, and thus always needs to use the
same number of inline vecs.  Share a single definition for the data
and integrity bvecs.

Now that no fast path lookups in the partition table are left, there is
no point in micro-optimizing the data structure for it.  Just use a bog

Replace the gendisk pointer in struct bio with a pointer to the newly
improved struct block device.  From that the gendisk can be trivially
accessed with an extra indirection, but it also allows to directly
look up all information related to partition remapping.

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit b3c6a59975415bde29cfd76ff1ab008edbf614a9.

Now we can avoid nvme-loop lockdep warning of 'lockdep possible recursive locking'
by nvme-loop's lock class, no need to apply dynamically allocated lock class key,
so revert commit b3c6a5997541("block: Fix a lockdep complaint triggered by request
queue flushing").

This way fixes horrible SCSI probe delay issue on megaraid_sas, and it is reported
the whole probe may take more than half an hour.

Instead of having two structures that represent each block device with
different life time rules, merge them into a single one.  This also
greatly simplifies the reference counting rules, as we can use the inode
reference count as the main reference count for the new struct
block_device, with the device model reference front ending it for device
model interaction.
