[PATCH] gfs2_grow: Optionally allow not issuing discard requests

[Mark Syms]

mkfs.gfs2 supports a -K option which disables issuing discard requests
for unused blocks on the LUN. gfs2_grow does not have an equivalent
option so even if the filesystem was originally created with the -K
option a subsequent grow operation will incur the, potentially high,
cost of performing the discard.
