I am not sure about this comment. We need to peek into the individual
target from the table to check for this feature right?

if (dm_table_any_dev_attr(table, device_not_matches_zone_sectors,
&zone_sectors)) {
	DMERR("%s: zone sectors is not consistent across all zoned devices",
        dm_device_name(table->md));
	return -EINVAL;
	}

So we call this function device_not_matches_zone_sectors() from
validate_hardware_zoned_model() for each target and we let the validate
succeed even if the target's zone size is different from the underlying
device zone size if this feature flag is set. Let me know if I am
missing something and how this can be moved to
validate_hardware_zoned_model().
