Subject: [PATCH 3/3] blkdev: honor discard_granularity in blkdev_issue_discard()

As Jeff Moyer pointed out we do not honor discard granularity while
submitting REQ_DISCARD bios of size smaller than max_discard_sectors.
That fact might have unwanted consequences of device ignoring the
request, or even worse if device firmware is buggy.

This commit changes the behaviour so all discard bios smaller than
max_discard_sectors are aligned properly wrt discard_granularity.
