Currently we set the bio size to the byte equivalent of the blocks to
be trimmed when submitting the initial DISCARD ioctl. That means it
is subject to the max_hw_sectors limitation of the HBA which is
much lower than the size of a DISCARD request we can support.
Add a separate max_discard_bytes tunable to limit the size for discard
requests. Currently for all implementations it's all we can fit into
the 32 bit variable that holds the bio size, although it could be much
larger if we had a way to pass it through the block layer as a number
of sectors.
