From: Wang Jianchao <wangjianchao@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
The background discard kwork tries to mark blocks used and issue
discard. This can make filesystem suffer from NOSPC error, xfstest
generic/371 can fail due to it. Fix it by flushing discard kwork
in ext4_should_retry_alloc. At the same time, give up discard at
the moment.
