In case of block device backend, if the backend supports discard, the loop device will set queue flag of QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD. However, limits.discard_granularity isn't setup, and this way is wrong, see the following description in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block: A discard_granularity of 0 means that the device does not support discard functionality. Especially 9b15d109a6b2 ("block: improve discard bio alignment in __blkdev_issue_discard()") starts to take q->limits.discard_granularity for computing max discard sectors. And zero discard granularity causes kernel oops[1]. Fix the issue by set up discard granularity and alignment.
