iThis series improves XFS discard support so that we don't stall the

The first patch is a fix for a long-standing allocator issue when we
have busy extents in the way of an allocation.  Without the async
discard support it was harder to hit, but it's basically been there
since we added busy extent tracking and non-synchronous delete
transactions.

The second patch is the main async discard support, and the third
one allows to batch up multiple extents into a single discard bio,
which is a common occurance.


With these patches, is it reasonable to run with discard enabled, or is more work needed?
