Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] block: remove gfp_mask for blkdev_zone_mgmt()

Fueled by the LSFMM discussion on removing GFP_NOFS initiated by Willy,
I've looked into the sole GFP_NOFS allocation in zonefs. As it turned out,
it is only done for zone management commands and can be removed.

After digging into more callers of blkdev_zone_mgmt() I came to the
conclusion that the gfp_mask parameter can be removed alltogether.

So this series switches all callers of blkdev_zone_mgmt() to either use
GFP_KERNEL where possible or grab a memalloc_no{fs,io} context.

The final patch in this series is getting rid of the gfp_mask parameter.

Changes in v2:
- guard blkdev_zone_mgmt in dm-zoned-metadata.c with memalloc_noio context
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240123-zonefs_nofs-v1-0-cc0b0308ef25@wdc.com
