Damien Le Moal ceeb373aa6 block: Simplify report zones execution
All kernel users of blkdev_report_zones() as well as applications use
through ioctl(BLKZONEREPORT) expect to potentially get less zone
descriptors than requested. As such, the use of the internal report
zones command execution loop implemented by blk_report_zones() is
not necessary and can even be harmful to performance by causing the
execution of inefficient small zones report command to service the
reminder of a requested zone array.

This patch removes blk_report_zones(), simplifying the code. Also
remove a now incorrect comment in dm_blk_report_zones().

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.
