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.

Zone management send operations (BLKRESETZONE, BLKOPENZONE, BLKCLOSEZONE
and BLKFINISHZONE) should be allowed under the same permissions as write().
(write() does not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
Additionally, other ioctls like BLKSECDISCARD and BLKZEROOUT only check if
the fd was successfully opened with FMODE_WRITE.
(They do not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
Currently, zone management send operations require both CAP_SYS_ADMIN
and that the fd was successfully opened with FMODE_WRITE.
Remove the CAP_SYS_ADMIN requirement, so that zone management send
operations match the access control requirement of write(), BLKSECDISCARD
and BLKZEROOUT.

Changes since v3:
-Picked up additional Reviewed-by tags.
Note to backporter:
Function was added as blkdev_reset_zones_ioctl() in v4.10.
Function was renamed to blkdev_zone_mgmt_ioctl() in v5.5.
The patch is valid both before and after the function rename.

A user space process should not need the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability set
in order to perform a BLKREPORTZONE ioctl.
Getting the zone report is required in order to get the write pointer.
Neither read() nor write() requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so it is reasonable
that a user space process that can read/write from/to the device, also
can get the write pointer. (Since e.g. writes have to be at the write
pointer.)

Seems like Damien's email had a typo in his original reply:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-block/patch/20210614122303.154378-3-Niklas.Cassel@wdc.com/#24252237
Surprised that he doesn't have a shortcut to paste his Reviewed-by tag,
considering the amount of patches that he reviews :)
