block: update sysfs documentation

Browse Source 
Add the description of the zoned, nr_zones and chunk_sectors sysfs queue
attributes to Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.txt. The description of
the zoned and chunk_sector attributes are mostly copied from
ABI/testing/sysfs-block (added a typo fix). While at it, also fix a
typo in the description of the io_poll_delay attribute.

nr_zones description is also added to ABI/testing/sysfs-block and
contact email address updated for the zoned attribute.

zoned (RO)
----------
This indicates if the device is a zoned block device and the zone model of the
device if it is indeed zoned. The possible values indicated by zoned are
"none" for regular block devices and "host-aware" or "host-managed" for zoned
block devices. The characteristics of host-aware and host-managed zoned block
devices are described in the ZBC (Zoned Block Commands) and ZAC
(Zoned Device ATA Command Set) standards. These standards also define the
"drive-managed" zone model. However, since drive-managed zoned block devices
do not support zone commands, they will be treated as regular block devices
and zoned will report "none".
nr_zones (RO)
-------------
For zoned block devices (zoned attribute indicating "host-managed" or
"host-aware"), this indicates the total number of zones of the device.
This is always 0 for regular block devices.
chunk_sectors (RO)
------------------
This has different meaning depending on the type of the block device.
For a RAID device (dm-raid), chunk_sectors indicates the size in 512B sectors
of the RAID volume stripe segment. For a zoned block device, either host-aware
or host-managed, chunk_sectors indicates the size in 512B sectors of the zones
of the device, with the eventual exception of the last zone of the device which
may be smaller.
