Subject: [PATCH 4.4 71/88] block: break discard submissions into the user defined size

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

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

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@...nel.dk>

commit af097f5d199e2aa3ab3ef777f0716e487b8f7b08 upstream.

Don't build discards bigger than what the user asked for, if the
user decided to limit the size by writing to 'discard_max_bytes'.
