Subject: dm thin: fix a memory leak when passing discard bio down

From: Dennis Yang <dennisyang@qnap.com>

commit 948f581a53b704b984aa20df009f0a2b4cf7f907 upstream.

dm-thin does not free the discard_parent bio after all chained sub
bios finished. The following kmemleak report could be observed after
pool with discard_passdown option processes discard bios in
linux v4.11-rc7. To fix this, we drop the discard_parent bio reference
when its endio (passdown_endio) called.
