With the block layer zone write plugging being automatically done for
any write operation to a zone of a zoned block device, a regular request
plugging handled through current->plug can only ever see at most a
single write request per zone. In such case, any potential reordering
of the plugged requests will be harmless. We can thus remove the special
casing for write operations to zones and have these requests plugged as
well. This allows removing the function blk_mq_plug and instead directly
using current->plug where needed.
