Pull rdma updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "A smaller set of patches, nothing stands out as being particularly
  major this cycle. The biggest item would be the new HIP09 HW support
  from HNS, otherwise it was pretty quiet for new work here:

   - Driver bug fixes and updates: bnxt_re, cxgb4, rxe, hns, i40iw,
     cxgb4, mlx4 and mlx5

   - Bug fixes and polishing for the new rts ULP

   - Cleanup of uverbs checking for allowed driver operations

   - Use sysfs_emit all over the place

   - Lots of bug fixes and clarity improvements for hns

   - hip09 support for hns

   - NDR and 50/100Gb signaling rates

   - Remove dma_virt_ops and go back to using the IB DMA wrappers

   - mlx5 optimizations for contiguous DMA regions"

Set nvme-loop's lock class via blk_mq_hctx_set_fq_lock_class for avoiding
lockdep possible recursive locking, then we can remove the dynamically
allocated lock class for each flush queue, finally we can avoid horrible
SCSI probe delay.

This way may not address situation in which one nvme-loop is backed on
another nvme-loop. However, in reality, people seldom uses this way
for test. Even though someone played in this way, it is just one
recursive locking false positive, no real deadlock issue.

Use struct block_device to lookup partitions on a disk.  This removes
all usage of struct hd_struct from the I/O path.

Allow ZNS NVMe SSDs to present a read-only namespace when append is not
supported, instead of rejecting the namespace directly.

This allows (i) the namespace to be used in read-only mode, which is not
a problem as the append command only affects the write path, and (ii) to
use standard management tools such as nvme-cli to choose a different
format or firmware slot that is compatible with the Linux zoned block
device.
