What if there are multiple targets for a device with different
discard_granularity - we would overwrite the settings made by another
target.
Should there be:
limits->discard_granularity = max(limits->discard_granularity, chunk_size_bytes);
or perhaps:
limits->discard_granularity = lcm_not_zero(limits->discard_granularity, chunk_size_bytes);
