This is kind of odd. If discard_granularity is zero, we assume that
discards are supported and granularity is 1. But if max_discard_sectors
is zero, we assume discards are disabled. Not sure if we should treat
max_discard_sectors and discard_granularity in same way or not.
Yes, this keeps the same behavior as before.  It is also the one that is
consistent with drivers/scsi/sd.c.  sd_config_discard always sets
limits.discard_granularity and then uses limits.max_discard_sectors to
disable discards.
