dm kcopyd: add sequential write feature
When copyying blocks to host-managed zoned block devices, writes must be sequential. However, dm_kcopyd_copy() does not guarantee this as writes are issued in the completion order of reads, and reads may complete out of order despite being issued sequentially. Fix this by introducing the DM_KCOPYD_WRITE_SEQ feature flag. This can be specified when calling dm_kcopyd_copy() and should be set automatically if one of the destinations is a host-managed zoned block device. For a split job, the master job maintains the write position at which writes must be issued. This is checked with the pop() function which is modified to not return any write I/O sub job that is not at the correct write position. When DM_KCOPYD_WRITE_SEQ is specified for a job, errors cannot be ignored and the flag DM_KCOPYD_IGNORE_ERROR is ignored, even if specified by the user.
