[PATCH v2] rbd: set discard alignment to zero

[David Disseldorp <ddiss@suse.de>]

RBD devices are currently incorrectly initialised with the block queue
discard_alignment set to the underlying RADOS object size.

As per Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block:
  The discard_alignment parameter indicates how many bytes the beginning
  of the device is offset from the internal allocation unit's natural
  alignment.

Correcting the discard_alignment parameter from the RADOS object size to
zero (the blk_set_default_limits() default) has no effect on how discard
requests are propagated through the block layer - @alignment in
__blkdev_issue_discard() remains zero. However, it does fix the UNMAP
granularity alignment value advertised to SCSI initiators via the Block
Limits VPD.
