Subject: [PATCH] block: freeze queue when updating zone resources

Modify disk_update_zone_resources() to freeze the device queue before
updating the number of zones, zone capacity and other zone related
resources. The locking order resulting from the call to
queue_limits_commit_update_frozen() is preserved, that is, the queue
limits lock is first taken by calling queue_limits_start_update() before
freezing the queue, and the queue is unfrozen after executing
queue_limits_commit_update(), which replaces the call to
queue_limits_commit_update_frozen().

This change ensures that there are no in-flights I/Os when the zone
resources are updated due to a zone revalidation. In case of error when
the limits are applied, directly call disk_free_zone_resources() from
disk_update_zone_resources() while the disk queue is still frozen to
avoid needing to freeze & unfreeze the queue again in
blk_revalidate_disk_zones(), thus simplifying that function code a
little.
