Allow the following blk-zoned ioctls: BLKREPORTZONE, BLKRESETZONE,
BLKOPENZONE, BLKCLOSEZONE, and BLKFINISHZONE to be performed without
CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

Neither read() nor write() requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and considering
the close relationship between read()/write() and these ioctls, there
is no reason to require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for these ioctls either.

Applied, thanks.
