block: remove the discard_zeroes_data flag
Now that we use the proper REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operation everywhere we can kill this hack. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

Description:
- Devices that support discard functionality may return
- stale or random data when a previously discarded block
- is read back. This can cause problems if the filesystem
- expects discarded blocks to be explicitly cleared. If a
- device reports that it deterministically returns zeroes
- when a discarded area is read the discard_zeroes_data
- parameter will be set to one. Otherwise it will be 0 and
- the result of reading a discarded area is undefined.
+ Will always return 0. Don't rely on any specific behavior
+ for discards, and don't read this file.
