Don't require the discard-alignment xenstore node to be present in
order to correctly setup the feature. This can happen with versions of
QEMU that only write the discard-granularity but not the
discard-alignment node.

Assume discard-alignment is 0 if not present. While there also fix the
logic to not enable the discard feature if discard-granularity is not
present.

This would mean that "discard-secure" will be evaluated only if the
other two items are set in Xenstore. From blkif.h I can't see this is
required, and your patch is modifying today's behavior in this regard.

You might want to have three xenbus_read_unsigned() calls instead.
