[PATCH V2] blk-throttle: cap discard request size

[PATCH V2] blk-throttle: cap discard request size

[Shaohua Li]

discard request usually is very big and easily use all bandwidth budget
of a cgroup. discard request size doesn't really mean the size of data
written, so it doesn't make sense to account it into bandwidth budget.
Jens pointed out treating the size 0 doesn't make sense too, because
discard request does have cost. But it's not easy to find the actual
cost. This patch simply makes the size one sector.

This looks good to me now, applied for 4.13.
