Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] allow blk-zoned ioctls without CAP_SYS_ADMIN

From: Niklas Cassel <[email protected]>

Allow the following blk-zoned ioctls: BLKREPORTZONE, BLKRESETZONE,
BLKOPENZONE, BLKCLOSEZONE, and BLKFINISHZONE to be performed without
CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

Neither read() nor write() requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and considering
the close relationship between read()/write() and these ioctls, there
is no reason to require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for these ioctls either.

Changes since v3:
-Picked up additional Reviewed-by tags.

blk-zoned: allow zone management send operations without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
