Christoph Hellwig b72053072c block: allow partitions on host aware zone devices
Host-aware SMR drives can be used with the commands to explicitly manage
zone state, but they can also be used as normal disks.  In the former
case it makes perfect sense to allow partitions on them, in the latter
it does not, just like for host managed devices.  Add a check to
add_partition to allow partitions on host aware devices, but give
up any zone management capabilities in that case, which also catches
the previously missed case of adding a partition vs just scanning it.

Because sd can rescan the attribute at runtime it needs to check if
a disk has partitions, for which a new helper is added to genhd.h.

Fixes: 5eac3eb30c ("block: Remove partition support for zoned block devices")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
