If zoned writes (REQ_OP_WRITE) for a sequential write required zone have
a starting LBA that differs from the write pointer, e.g. because a prior
write triggered a unit attention condition, then the storage device will
respond with an UNALIGNED WRITE COMMAND error. Retry commands that failed
with an unaligned write error.
