Subject: [PATCH V2 3/5] nvmet: ignore discard return value

__blkdev_issue_discard() always returns 0, making the error checking
in nvmet_bdev_discard_range() dead code.

Kill the function nvmet_bdev_discard_range() and call
__blkdev_issue_discard() directly from nvmet_bdev_execute_discard(),
since no error handling is needed anymore for __blkdev_issue_discard()
call.
