Subject: [PATCH 4.18 013/145] block: fix infinite loop if the device loses discard capability

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@...hat.com>

commit b88aef36b87c9787a4db724923ec4f57dfd513f3 upstream.

If __blkdev_issue_discard is in progress and a device mapper device is
reloaded with a table that doesn't support discard,
q->limits.max_discard_sectors is set to zero. This results in infinite
loop in __blkdev_issue_discard.

This patch checks if max_discard_sectors is zero and aborts with
-EOPNOTSUPP.
