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.
Shouldn't we just do all this work when blk_queue_set_zoned is called
with a BLK_ZONED_NONE argument? That seems like the more obvious API
to me.
That is what I did. blk_queue_set_zoned() calls blk_queue_clear_zone_settings()
for BLK_ZONED_NONE case. I simply did not open code the cleanups in that
functions because it is simpler to stub only blk_queue_clear_zone_settings()
rather than having conditionals in blk_queue_set_zoned(). That also puts the
cleanup function together with the code that allocates most resources in
blk-zoned.c. Easier to not overlook something.
