nvme-multipath: revalidate zones for namespace heads

Browse source 
Zoned multipath namespace heads get BLK_FEAT_ZONED and their limits are
refreshed from the paths, but the zone state for the head disk is never
initialized. The previous nr_zones assignment only updated a single
field and did not allocate or populate the block layer's per-zone state.

The failure was found with xfstests xfs/643 and xfs/646 on an NVMe
ZNS multipath namespace. Tracing showed regular REQ_OP_WRITE I/O being
submitted to sequential zones through the multipath head.

That leaves the head disk without valid zone condition information. Code
using the head device, such as bdev_zone_is_seq(), can then treat a
sequential zone as non-sequential and submit regular writes to it.

Add a small helper to run blk_revalidate_disk_zones() for a live zoned
namespace head after the path limits have been committed and when a path
becomes live. Return the error to the namespace update path, and keep the
live path transition as a warning-only update. Drop the nr_zones copy, as
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() updates it together with the rest of the zoned
disk state.
