virtio_blk_submit_multireq() fuses adjacent in-zone requests into a
single request. On a zoned backend, a merged zone append request
that straddles a zone boundary is rejected by the device because
each write/read must stay within a single zone (virtio 1.4, 5.2.6.1).

Add a bail condition to the merge coalescer: if combining the
candidate request into the current batch would cross a zone
boundary, flush the current batch and start a new one.
