REQ_OP_SECURE_ERASE needs to be covered since block layer treats
the two in very similar way from discard viewpoint.

Also single range discard should be fixed too, since block layer
thinks single-range discard req segment is 1. Otherwise, the warning in
virtblk_setup_discard_write_zeroes() still may be triggered, at least.
