bd5c40313a dm zoned: metadata version 2
Implement handling for metadata version 2. The new metadata adds a
label and UUID for the device mapper device, and additional UUID for
the underlying block devices.

It also allows for an additional regular drive to be used for
emulating random access zones. The emulated zones will be placed
logically in front of the zones from the zoned block device, causing
the superblocks and metadata to be stored on that device.

The first zone of the original zoned device will be used to hold
another, tertiary copy of the metadata; this copy carries a generation
number of 0 and is never updated; it's just used for identification.

90b39d58f3 dm zoned: add 'message' callback
Add callback for 'dmsetup message' to allow the reclaim process
to be triggered manually.
Eg.

	dmsetup message /dev/dm-X 0 message

will start the reclaim process even if the default threshold
of 50 percent of free random zones is not reached.

bc3d5717d2 dm zoned: add 'status' callback
Add callback to supply information for 'dmsetup status'
and 'dmsetup table'. The output for 'dmsetup status' is

0 <size> zoned <nr_zones> zones <nr_unmap_rnd>/<nr_rnd> random <nr_unmap_seq>/<nr_seq> sequential

where <nr_unmap_rnd> is the number of unmapped (ie free) random zones,
<nr_rnd> the total number of random zones, <nr_unmap_seq> the number
of unmapped sequential zones, and <nr_seq> the total number of
sequential zones.
