In preparation for allowing BIO based device drivers to use zone write plugging and its zone append emulation, allow these drivers to call blk_revalidate_disk_zones() so that all zone resources necessary to zone write plugging can be initialized. To do so, remove the check in blk_revalidate_disk_zones() restricting the use of this function to mq request-based drivers to allow also BIO-based drivers to use it. This is safe to do as long as the BIO-based block device queue is already setup and usable, as it should, and can be safely frozen. The helper function disk_need_zone_resources() is added to control the allocation and initialization of the zone write plug hash table and of the conventional zone bitmap only for mq devices and for BIO-based devices that require zone append emulation.

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 reStructuredText 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.
