Expose through sysfs the nr_zones field of struct request_queue. Exposing this value helps in debugging disk issues as well as facilitating scripts based use of the disk (e.g. blktests). For zoned block devices, the nr_zones field indicates the total number of zones of the device calculated using the known disk capacity and zone size. This number of zones is always 0 for regular block devices. Since nr_zones is defined conditionally with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED, introduce the blk_queue_nr_zones() function to return the correct value for any device, regardless if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is set.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
