This series resolves some issues with write-infoblock command and provide support to write-infoblock for sector mode namespace

write-infoblock command has issues regarding updating the align, uuid, parent_uuid. In case of no parameter passed for it, this command used to overwrite the existing values with defaults.

In PATCH 1/2 these parameters will be set to their original values, incase, values hasn't been passed in command arguments

write-infoblock command doesn't have support for sector/BTT mode namespaces. They can be converted to fsdax, but can not be written being in sector mode.

In PATCH 2/2, It creates a functionality which write infoblock of Sector/BTT namespace. Currently only uuid, parent_uuid can be updated. In future, Support for other parameters can easily be integrated in the
functionality.
