Subject: [PATCH, RFC] addjust discard request to be aligned with hwsect size to support SSDs with larger sector size

The currect blkdev_issue_discard() function assumes 512 sector size.
We have seen some problem when using discard on a SSD that has larger
sector size. The following patch adjusts the starting address and size of
a discard request to be aligned with hwsect size.
