Yes we could. But it is somewhat the same as drives that do not support trim:
they get max_discard_sectors to 0. The attribute says "not supported because the
value is 0". I followed the same principle for nr_zones: value of 0 says "no
zones", hopefully in sync with "zoned" saying "none". And if these 2 are not in
sync as such, then we have a defective drive or a bug. So actually always having
nr_zones is useful I think.

But I can make it invisible for regular disks if you insist :)
