Zone logical remapping is necessary only and only if the target device is not
the raw entire block device, that is, if the target is a partition block device,
a DM device mapping only a portion of the backend disk, or a combination of
both. When the target device is an entire raw block device, zone remapping
(shifting of zone start and zone write pointer position) is not necessary at
all. If we add a fallback device, the test will still run, but will end up being
a test for a straight report zones, which is already covered by test zbd/002. So 
we thought it not necessary to add here.

This test is rather intended at catching complex zone remapping problems like we
had in the past already: see commit 9864cd5dc54c "dm: fix report zone remapping 
to account for partition offset".
