No, for a file backing, q->limits.discard_granularity is set to
inode->i_sb->s_blocksize. And the encrypted loop device does not support
discard.

Such issue just only happens on a device backing loop device which
announces supporting discard. Without Ming's fix to loop device driver,
discard on LBA 0 will trigger the BUG() panic in my setup (Maybe it is
more easier to trigger this BUG() panic with scsi lun).
