[PATCH v3 2/2] loop: Better discard support for block devices

[Evan Green]

If the backing device for a loop device is a block device,
then mirror the discard properties of the underlying block
device into the loop device. This new change only applies to
loop devices backed directly by a block device, not loop
devices backed by regular files.

While in there, differentiate between REQ_OP_DISCARD and
REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES, which are different for block devices,
but which the loop device had just been lumping together, since
they're largely the same for files.

This change fixes blktest block/003, and removes an extraneous
error print in block/013 when testing on a loop device backed
by a block device that does not support discard.
