_require_scratch_dev_pool() zeros the first 100 sectors of each device to clear eventual remains of older filesystems. On zoned devices this won't work as a plain dd will end up creating unaligned write errors failing all subsequent actions on the device. For zoned devices it is enough to simply reset the first two zones of the device to achieve the same result.
