  The call to blkdev_zone_mgmt() in dm-zoned is only used to perform a
ZONE_RESET operation when freeing a zone.

This is not done in the IO path, so we can use GFP_KERNEL here, as it will
never recurse back into the driver on reclaim.

Hi

This doesn't seem safe to me. There's a possible call chain dmz_handle_bio 
-> dmz_put_chunk_mapping -> dmz_free_zone -> dmz_reset_zone -> 
blkdev_zone_mgmt -> recursion (via GFP_KERNEL) back into the dm-zoned 
target.
