bcache-tools: convert writeback to writethrough mode for zoned backing devicezonde-device

Currently bcache does not support writeback cache mode for zoned device
as backing device.

If the backing device is zoned device, and cache mode is explicitly set
to writeback mode, a information will be print to terminal,
  "Zoned device <device name> detected: convert to writethrough mode."
Then the cache mode will be automatically converted to writethrough,
which is the default cache mode of bcache-tools.
