Subject: [RESEND PATCH 2/2] loop: Better discard support for block devices

If the backing device for a loop device is a block device,
then mirror the discard properties of the underlying block
device into the loop device. While in there, differentiate
between REQ_OP_DISCARD and REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES, which are
different for block devices, but which the loop device had
just been lumping together.

This change fixes blktest block/003, and removes an extraneous
error print in block/013 when testing on a loop device backed
by a block device that does not support discard.
