There seems to be some sort of race condition between
blkdev_issue_zeroout() and the scsi disk driver (disabling write same
after an illegal request). On my UAS drive, sometimes `blkdiscard -z
/dev/sdX` will return right away, even though if I then check
`write_same_max_bytes` it has turned 0. Some

When BLKZEROOUT is issued to an MD device atop a PVSCSI controller
supplied VMDK from ESXi 6.0 the call returns immediatel
