Hi,

two patches fixing the problem with aync discard. The default settings
had a low IOPS limit and processing a large batch to discard would take
a long time. On laptops this can cause increased power consumption due
to disk activity. As async discard has been on by default since 6.2 this
likely affects a lot of users.

Please pull, thanks.

- increase the default IOPS limit 10x which reportedly helped

- setting the sysfs IOPS value to 0 now does not throttle anymore
  allowing the discards to be processed at full speed, previously there
  was an arbitrary 6 hour target for processing the pending batch
