In preparation for adding zone write plugging, modify blk_revalidate_disk_zones() to get the capacity of zones of a zoned block device. This capacity value as a number of 512B sectors is stored in the gendisk zone_capacity field. Given that host-managed SMR disks (including zoned UFS drives) and all known NVMe ZNS devices have the same zone capacity for all zones blk_revalidate_disk_zones() returns an error if different capacities are detected for different zones. This also adds check to verify that the values reported by the device for zone capacities are correct, that is, that the zone capacity is never 0, does not exceed the zone size and is equal to the zone size for conventional 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 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.
