[PATCH 1/2 V3] ext4: make trim/discard optional (and off by default)

[Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>]

It is anticipated that when sb_issue_discard starts doing
real work on trim-capable devices, we may see issues.  Make
this mount-time optional, and default it to off until we know
that things are working out OK.

V2: rename "trim" to "discard" to match btrfs & gfs2
V3: fix mailer flowed text mangling, sorry.
