Subject: [PATCH] ext4: prohibit fstrim in norecovery mode

From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@...cle.com>

The ext4 fstrim implementation uses the block bitmaps to find free space
that can be discarded.  If we haven't replayed the journal, the bitmaps
will be stale and we absolutely *cannot* use stale metadata to zap the
underlying storage.
