Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Add batched discard support for ext4

Walk through each allocation group and trim all free extents. It can be
invoked through TRIM ioctl on the file system. The main idea is to
provide a way to trim the whole file system if needed, since some SSD's
may suffer from performance loss after the whole device was filled (it
does not mean that fs is full!).

It search fro free extents in each allocation group. When the free
extent is found, blocks are marked as used in the buddy bitmap and then
trimmed. Afterwards these blocks are marked as free in per-group buddy
bitmap.

Since fstrim is a long operation it is good to have an ability to interrupt
it by a signal. This was added by Dmitry Monakhov. Thanks Dimitry.
