Eric Blake d004bd52aa block: Rename blk_write_zeroes() 
Commit 983a1600 changed the semantics of blk_write_zeroes() to
be byte-based rather than sector-based, but did not change the
name, which is an open invitation for other code to misuse the
function.  Renaming to pwrite_zeroes() makes it more in line
with other byte-based interfaces, and will help make it easier
to track which remaining write_zeroes interfaces still need
conversion.
