dm zoned: reduce overhead of backing device checks
Commit 75d66ffb added backing device health checks and as a part of these checks, check_events() block ops template call is invoked in dm-zoned mapping path as well as in reclaim and flush path. Calling check_events() with ATA or SCSI backing devices introduces a blocking scsi_test_unit_ready() call being made in sd_check_events(). Even though the overhead of calling scsi_test_unit_ready() is small for ATA zoned devices, it is much larger for SCSI and it affects performance in a very negative way. Fix this performance regression by executing check_events() only in case of any I/O errors. The function dmz_bdev_is_dying() is modified to call only blk_queue_dying(), while calls to check_events() are made in a new helper function, dmz_check_bdev().
