rbd: implement REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES
Commit 93c1defe ("rbd: remove the discard_zeroes_data flag") explicitly didn't implement REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES for rbd, while the following commit 48920ff2 ("block: remove the discard_zeroes_data flag") dropped ->discard_zeroes_data in favor of REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES. rbd does support efficient zeroing via CEPH_OSD_OP_ZERO opcode and will release either some or all blocks depending on whether the zeroing request is rbd_obj_bytes() aligned. This is how we currently implement discards, so REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES can be identical to REQ_OP_DISCARD for now. Caveats: - REQ_NOUNMAP is ignored, but AFAICT that's true of at least two other current implementations - nvme and loop - there is no ->write_zeroes_alignment and blk_bio_write_zeroes_split() is hence less helpful than blk_bio_discard_split(), but this can (and should) be fixed on the rbd side In the future we will split these into two code paths to respect REQ_NOUNMAP on zeroout and save on zeroing blocks that couldn't be released on discard.
