When multiple processes write data to the same block group on a
compressed zoned filesystem, the underlying device could report I/O
errors and data corruption is possible.
This happens because on a zoned file system, compressed data writes
where sent to the device via a REQ_OP_WRITE instead of a
REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND operation. But with REQ_OP_WRITE and parallel
submission it cannot be guaranteed that the data is always submitted
aligned to the underlying zone's write pointer.
The change to using REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND instead of REQ_OP_WRITE on a
zoned filesystem is non intrusive on a regular file system or when
submitting to a conventional zone on a zoned filesystem, as it is
guarded by btrfs_use_zone_append.
