[Devel] [PATCH rh9 v2] dm-zero-req: Introduce zero request based target

This driver is like "dm-zero", but request based rather than bio based
like original "dm-zero".

This driver will be used on a block device for Container configuration
stage: we need to construct a block device which honors CBT mask (stored
in ploop image), for that first we need to create a dummy block device
(pure technical issue, otherwise CBT mask is dropped).

dm-ploop/dm-qcow2 are request based, thus we need zero target
also to be request based.

Feature: cbt: changed block tracking (for backup)

v2: * dropped extra kernel config option, put new modules under CONFIG_DM_ZERO
    * dropped "readahead of null bytes" optimization
