block: use a per disk workqueue for zone write plugging
A zone write plug BIO work function blk_zone_wplug_bio_work() calls submit_bio_noacct_nocheck() to execute the next unplugged BIO. This function may block. So executing zone plugs BIO works using the block layer global kblockd workqueue can potentially lead to preformance or latency issues as the number of concurrent work for a workqueue is limited to WQ_DFL_ACTIVE (256). 1) For a system with a large number of zoned disks, issuing write requests to otherwise unused zones may be delayed wiating for a work thread to become available. 2) Requeue operations which use kblockd but are independent of zone write plugging may alsoi end up being delayed. To avoid these potential performance issues, create a workqueue per zoned device to execute zone plugs BIO work. The workqueue max active parameter is set to the maximum number of zone write plugs allocated with the zone write plug mempool. This limit is equal to the maximum number of open zones of the disk and defaults to 128 for disks that do not have a limit on the number of open zones.
