[PATCH 23/27] block: add a bdev_max_discard_sectors helper

Add a helper to query the number of sectors support per each discard bio based on the block device and use this helper to stop various places from poking into the request_queue to see if discard is supported and if so how much. This mirrors what is done e.g. for write zeroes as well.
