The current null_blk implementation checks if any bad blocks exist in the target blocks of each IO. If so, the IO fails and data is not transferred for all of the IO target blocks. However, when real storage devices have bad blocks, the devices may transfer data partially up to the first bad blocks (e.g., SAS drives). Especially, when the IO is a write operation, such partial IO leaves partially written data on the device. To simulate such partial IO using null_blk, introduce the new parameter 'badblocks_partial_io'. When this parameter is set, null_handle_badblocks() returns the number of the sectors for the partial IO as its third pointer argument. Pass the returned number of sectors to the following calls to null_handle_memory_backend() in null_process_cmd() and null_zone_write().
