So I now see this incremental fix:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dm-devel/patch/20210604004703.408562-1-damien.lemoal@opensource.wdc.com/
And I've folded it in...

But I'm left wondering why dec_pending, now dm_io_dec_pending, needs
to be modified to also check dm_is_zone_write() if clone_endio() is
already dealing with it?
Not that big a deal, just not loving how we're sprinkling special
zoned code around...
