The zoned extension could grow. So ext.len > sizeof(zoned_ext) -> invalid.

Actually, this part should be gotten rid of after discussion with
Stefan. The incompatible feature bit of zoned format does not need to
check if the zoned model is host-managed.

It's a bit late for me. So I will respond to the rest of the comments
later. Thanks for reviewing!
