null_blk: support read-only and offline zone conditions
In zoned mode, zones with write pointers can have conditions "read-only" or "offline". In read-only condition, zones can not be written. In offline condition, the zones can be neither written nor read. These conditions are intended for zones with media failures, then it is difficult to set those conditions to zones on real devices. To test handling of zones in the conditions, add a feature to null_blk to set up zones in read-only or offline condition. Add new configuration attributes "zone_readonly" and "zone_offline". Write a sector to the attribute files to specify the target zone to set the zone conditions. For example, following command lines do it: echo 0 > nullb1/zone_readonly echo 524288 > nullb1/zone_offline When the specified zones are already in read-only or offline condition, normal empty condition is restored to the zones. These condition changes can be done only after the null_blk device get powered, since status area of each zone is not yet allocated before power-on. Also improve zone condition checks to inhibit all commands for zones in offline conditions. In same manner, inhibit write and zone management commands for zones in read-only condition.
