Subject: [PATCH] block: Export blk_alloc_discard_bio

The fs trim loops over ranges and sends discard requests, some ranges
can be large so it's all transparently handled by blkdev_issue_discard()
and processed in smaller chunks.

To support cancellation (or suspend) requests we need to insert checks
into the the loop, exporting the symbol allows to reimplement
such loop with the desired behavior.
