[PATCH 1/6] null_blk: allow write zeores on non-membacked

[Chaitanya Kulkarni <kch@nvidia.com>]

Add a helper function to enable the REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operations
when null_blk is configured with the non-membacked operations.

Since write-zeroes is a non-trivial I/O operation we need this to
add a blktest so we can test the non-trivial I/O path from the
application to the block layer.
