Subject: [PATCH 2/2] block: create ioctl to discard-or-zeroout a range of
 blocks

Create a new ioctl to expose the block layer's newfound ability to
issue either a zeroing discard, a WRITE SAME with a zero page, or a
regular write with the zero page.  This BLKZEROOUT2 ioctl takes
{start, length, flags} as parameters.  So far, the only flag available
is to enable the zeroing discard part -- without it, the call invokes
the old BLKZEROOUT behavior.  start and length have the same meaning
as in BLKZEROOUT.

This new ioctl also invalidates the page cache correctly on account
of the previous patch in the series.

v3: Add extra padding for future expansion, and check the padding is zero.
v4: Check the start/len arguments for overflows prior to feeding the page
    cache bogus numbers (that it'll ignore anyway).
v5: Refactor the 4.4 refactoring of the ioctl code into separate functions.
    Separate patches for invalidation and new ioctl.
