Some drivers validate that their own logical block size. It is no harm to
always do this, so validate in blk_validate_limits().

This allows us to remove the validation in most of those drivers.

Add a comment to blk_validate_block_size() to inform users that self-
validation of LBS is usually unnecessary.

Some drivers validate that their own logical block size. It is no harm to
always do this, so validate in blk_validate_limits().

This allows us to remove the validation in most of those drivers.

Add a comment to blk_validate_block_size() to inform users that self-
validation of LBS is usually unnecessary.

Zeroout can access a significant capacity and take longer than the user
expected.  A user may change their mind about wanting to run that
command and attempt to kill the process and do something else with their
device. But since the task is uninterruptable, they have to wait for it
to finish, which could be many hours.

Add a new BLKDEV_ZERO_KILLABLE flag for blkdev_issue_zeroout that checks
for a fatal signal at each iteration so the user doesn't have to wait for
their regretted operation to complete naturally.

Heavily based on an earlier patch from Keith Busch.
