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 frozen, even if there are no zone resources to free. Avoid this overhead for non-zoned devices by not calling disk_clear_zone_settings() in disk_set_zoned() if the device model was already set to BLK_ZONED_NONE, which is always the case for regular devices.
