This patch adds discard support to dm-zero. The discards are ignored.
It is useful when the user combines dm-zero with other discard-supporting
targets in the same table; without dm-zero support, discards would be
disabled for the whole combined device.

Just for the context: cryptsetup use dm-zero to mask certain areas
(in Bitlocker-compatible mapping) and discard flag disappeared in this situation
(discard is not supported configuration here, but it should work :)
Originally reported here https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/-/issues/718
Propagating discard support in dm-zero is definitely useful for other uses,
though.
Thanks,
Milan
