no_write_same prevents us from attempting to use WRITE SAME(10/16) to
zero block ranges.

This is completely orthogonal to using the WRITE SAME(10/16) commands
with the UNMAP bit set to discard block ranges. The latter is controlled
by the logical block provisioning heuristics and is not affected by
no_write_same at all.
