If optional discard support in dm-crypt is enabled,
discards requests bypass crypt queue and blocks
of the underlying device are discarded.
But for read path, discarded blocks are handled
as the same as normal ciphertext blocks, thus decrypted.
So if underlying device announces discarded regions
return zeroes, dm-crypt must disable this flag because
after decryption there is just random noise instead of zeroes.
