ext4 already uses synchronous discards, no need to add I/O barriers.

This needs the patch that Jan sent in reply to my initial version merged
into it.

Actually the jbd2 patch needs it merged, but the point still stands.

Yeah, wasn't sure about that one.  Has anyone tested it?  I'll be
happy to merge it but I have no idea whether it's correct or not and
Jan didn't seem to have tested it so...  Jan, shall I merge the patch?

Thanks.
