Subject: [PATCH] block: Don't allow illegal discard requests

Currently blkdev_issue_discard() doesn't check that submitted discard
request matches granularity required by the underlying device.
Submitting such requests to the device can have unexpected consequences
(e.g. brd driver just discards more / less data depending on how exactly
the request is aligned). So test that submitted discard request has the
granularity required by the driver.
