With zone write plugging enabled at the block layer level, a zoned device can only ever see at most a single write operation per zone. There is thus no need to request a block scheduler with strick per-zone sequential write ordering control through the ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE feature. Removing this allows using a zoned null_blk device with any scheduler, including "none".
