Kernel documentation for the discard_granularity property says:
A discard_granularity of 0 means that the device does not support
discard functionality.
Some older kernels had drivers (notably loop, but also some USB-SATA
adapters) that would set the QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD capability flag, but
have discard_granularity=0. Since 5.10 (torvalds/linux@b35fd7422c) the
discard entry point blkdev_issue_discard() has had a check for this,
which would immediately reject the call with EOPNOTSUPP, and throw a
scary diagnostic message into the log. See #16068.
Since 6.8, the block layer sets a non-zero default for
discard_granularity (torvalds/linux@3c407dc723), and a future kernel
will remove the check entirely[1].
As such, there's no good reason for us to enable discard when
discard_granularity=0. The kernel will never let the request go in
anyway; better that we just disable it so we can report it properly to
the user.
