We cannot rely on DSM/DEALLOCATE as a write zeroes
alternative, even if DLFEAT reports that deallocated
blocks will be read as all zeroes. DEALLOCATE is
advisory, meaning that blocks may not actually be
deallocated. In cases where they are not deallocated,
they will not be read back later as zeroes.
QEMU 6.0 started reporting DLFEAT as returning zeroes
for deallocated blocks but for some of our write
zeroes tests, blocks aren't actually deallocated.
We may be able to add quirks in the future if we know
that a controller reliably deallocates blocks, but
for now we need to revert this completely.
Note that since bdev/nvme module now does not support
write zeroes in any cases, we need to disable the
write zeroes call in the unit tests.
Fixes issue #1932.
