I looked at how nvme host defines nvme_revalidate_zones() when I did
this. The functions become undefined symbols but because the call sites
are optimized out they go away.

Not sure how this is better?

This is the same as I do here, except I put the declarations in the c
file instead of a header. I did this for two reasons 1) there is no ublk
header besides the uapi header (I would add a header just for this), 2)
the declarations need only exist inside ublk_drv.c. For btrfs, null_blk,
nvme, the declarations go in a header file and the functions in question
do not have static linkage.

I could move the function declarations out of the #else block, but then
they would need to be declared static and that gives a compiler warning
when the implementation is not present.
