block: add rationale for not using blk_mq_plug() when applicable

There are two places in the block layer at the moment where
blk_mq_plug() helper could be used instead of directly accessing the
plug from struct current. In both these cases, directly accessing the plug
should not have any consequences for zoned devices.

Make the intent explicit by adding comments instead of introducing unwanted
checks with blk_mq_plug() helper.[1]
