Mike Snitzer 06961c487a dm: split discards further if target sets max_discard_granularity
The block core (bio_split_discard) will already split discards based
on the 'discard_granularity' and 'max_discard_sectors' queue_limits.
But the DM thin target also needs to ensure that it doesn't receive a
discard that spans a 'max_discard_sectors' boundary.

Introduce a dm_target 'max_discard_granularity' flag that if set will
cause DM core to split discard bios relative to 'max_discard_sectors'.
This treats 'discard_granularity' as a "min_discard_granularity" and
'max_discard_sectors' as a "max_discard_granularity".

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
