This needs to go a step further and verify a device in the stack
actually services REQ_OP_PROVISION.

Please see dm_table_supports_discards(): it iterates all devices in
the table and checks that support is advertised.

For discard, DM requires that _all_ devices in a table advertise
support (that is pretty strict and likely could be relaxed to _any_).

You'll need ti->provision_supported (like ->discards_supported) to
advertise actual support is provided by dm-thinp (even if underlying
devices don't support it).

And yeah, dm-thinp passdown support for REQ_OP_PROVISION can follow
later as needed (if there actual HW that would benefit from
REQ_OP_PROVISION).
