For zoned block devices with SWR zones, the order of the writes must be
maintained to avoid write not at write pointer errors.
Thus, cache.direct=on must be used to bypass the page cache, since the
page cache uses write-back caching, where the physical order of the writes
is not guaranteed.
There is already a check for cache.direct=on in raw_open_common(),
however, this check is done before raw_refresh_zoned_limits() has been
called (which initializes bs->bl.zoned), so it is currently dead code.
Fix this by moving the check to raw_refresh_zoned_limits(), such that the
check is done after bs->bl.zoned has been initialized.
