Subject: [PATCH 20/30] drbd: discard_zeroes_if_aligned allows "thin" resync for discard_zeroes_data=0

From: Lars Ellenberg <lars@...bit.com>

Even if discard_zeroes_data != 0,
if discard_zeroes_if_aligned is set, we assume we can reliably
zero-out/discard using the drbd_issue_peer_discard() helper.
