Damien Le Moal b2a78fec34 zloop: add max_open_zones option
Introduce the new max_open_zones option to allow specifying a limit on
the maximum number of open zones of a zloop device. This change allows
creating a zloop device that can more closely mimick the characteristics
of a physical SMR drive.

When set to a non zero value, only up to max_open_zones zones can be in
the implicit open (BLK_ZONE_COND_IMP_OPEN) and explicit open
(BLK_ZONE_COND_EXP_OPEN) conditions at any time. The transition to the
implicit open condition of a zone on a write operation can result in an
implicit close of an already implicitly open zone. This is handled in
the function zloop_do_open_zone(). This function also handles
transitions to the explicit open condition. Implicit close transitions
are handled using an LRU ordered list of open zones which is managed
using the helper functions zloop_lru_rotate_open_zone() and
zloop_lru_remove_open_zone().
