When a write request is converted into a write zeroes request by the detect-zeroes= feature, it is no longer associated with an I/O buffer. The BDRV_REQ_REGISTERED_BUF flag doesn't make sense without an I/O buffer and must be cleared because bdrv_co_do_pwrite_zeroes() fails with -EINVAL when it's set.
Fiona Ebner <f.eb...@proxmox.com> bisected and diagnosed this QEMU 7.2 regression where writes containing zeroes to a blockdev with discard=unmap,detect-zeroes=unmap fail.
