Create a new ioctl to expose the block layer's newfound ability to
issue either a zeroing discard, a WRITE SAME with a zero page, or a
regular write with the zero page. This BLKZEROOUT2 ioctl takes
{start, length, flags} as parameters. So far, the only flag available
is to enable the zeroing discard part -- without it, the call invokes
the old BLKZEROOUT behavior. start and length have the same meaning
as in BLKZEROOUT.
Furthermore, because BLKZEROOUT2 issues commands directly to the
storage device, we must invalidate the page cache (as a regular
O_DIRECT write would do) to avoid returning stale cache contents at a
later time.
This patch depends on mkp's earlier patch "block: Introduce
blkdev_issue_zeroout_discard() function".
