block: fix revalidate performance regression

The scsi driver function sd_read_block_characteristics() always calls
disk_set_zoned() to a disk zoned model correctly, in case the device
model changed. 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.
