The scsi driver function sd_read_block_characteristics() always calls
disk_set_zoned() to a disk zoned model correctly, in case the device
model changed. This is done even for regular disks to set the zoned
model to BLK_ZONED_NONE and free any zone related resources if the drive
previously was zoned.

This behavior significantly impact the time it takes to revalidate disks
on a large system as the call to disk_clear_zone_settings() done from
disk_set_zoned() for the BLK_ZONED_NONE case results in the device
request queued to be quiesced, even if there is no zone resource to
free.

Avoid this overhead for non zoned devices by not calling
disk_clear_zone_settings() in disk_set_zoned() if the device model
already was set to BLK_ZONED_NONE.
