[PATCH 3.13 179/212] dm cache: always split discards on cache block boundaries

From: Heinz Mauelshagen <heinzm@redhat.com>

commit f1daa838e861ae1a0fb7cd9721a21258430fcc8c upstream.

The DM cache target cannot cope with discards that span multiple cache
blocks, so each discard bio that spans more than one cache block must
get split by the DM core.
