Merge tag 'for-5.5/block-20191121' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Due to more granular branches, this one is small and will be followed
  with other core branches that add specific features. I meant to just
  have a core and drivers branch, but external dependencies we ended up
  adding a few more that are also core.

  The changes are:

   - Fixes and improvements for the zoned device support (Ajay, Damien)

   - sed-opal table writing and datastore UID (Revanth)

   - blk-cgroup (and bfq) blk-cgroup stat fixes (Tejun)

   - Improvements to the block stats tracking (Pavel)

   - Fix for overruning sysfs buffer for large number of CPUs (Ming)

   - Optimization for small IO (Ming, Christoph)

   - Fix typo in RWH lifetime hint (Eugene)

   - Dead code removal and documentation (Bart)

   - Reduction in memory usage for queue and tag set (Bart)

   - Kerneldoc header documentation (André)

   - Device/partition revalidation fixes (Jan)

   - Stats tracking for flush requests (Konstantin)

   - Various other little fixes here and there (et al)"
