dm: discard support requires all targets in a table support discards A DM device with a mix of discard capabilities (due to some underlying devices not having discard support) _should_ just return -EOPNOTSUPP for the region of the device that doesn't support discards (even if only by way of the underlying driver formally not supporting discards). BUT, that does ask the underlying driver to handle something that it never advertised support for. In doing so we're exposing users to the potential for a underlying disk driver hanging if/when a discard is issued a the device that is incapable and never claimed to support discards. Fix this by requiring that each DM target in a DM table provide discard support as a prereq for a DM device to advertise support for discards. This may cause some configurations that were happily supporting discards (even in the face of a mix of discard support) to stop supporting discards -- but the risk of users hitting driver hangs, and forced reboots, outweighs supporting those fringe mixed discard configurations.
