Use that information to adjust minlen properly in FITRIM code. Smaller
extents will be ignored anyway, so we can optimize by not even trying to
discard them.

ext4: Adjust minlen with discard_granularity in the FITRIM ioctl

From: Lukas Czerner <redacted>

Discard granularity tells us the minimum size of extent that can be
discard by the device.  If the user supplies a minimum extent that
should be discarded (range.minlen) which is smaller than the discard
granularity, increase minlen to the discard granularity, since there's
no point submitting trim requests that the device will reject anyway.
