Currently bcache does not support writeback cache mode for zoned device
as backing device.
If the backing device is zoned device, and cache mode is explicitly set
to writeback mode, a information will be print to terminal,
"Zoned device <device name> detected: convert to writethrough mode."
Then the cache mode will be automatically converted to writethrough,
which is the default cache mode of bcache-tools.
