block: Introduce bio_needs_zone_write_plugging()

commit f70291411b upstream.

In preparation for fixing device mapper zone write handling, introduce
the inline helper function bio_needs_zone_write_plugging() to test if a
BIO requires handling through zone write plugging using the function
blk_zone_plug_bio(). This function returns true for any write
(op_is_write(bio) == true) operation directed at a zoned block device
using zone write plugging, that is, a block device with a disk that has
a zone write plug hash table.

This helper allows simplifying the check on entry to blk_zone_plug_bio()
and used in to protect calls to it for blk-mq devices and DM devices.

Fixes: f211268ed1 ("dm: Use the block layer zone append emulation")
