[Drbd-dev] [PATCH] drbd: fix discard_zeroes_if_aligned regression

From: Eric Wheeler <git at linux.ewheeler.net>

According to drbd.conf documentation, "To not break established and
expected behaviour, and suddenly cause fstrim on thin-provisioned LVs to
run out-of-space instead of freeing up space, the default value is yes."

This behavior regressed in the REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES refactor near
	45c21793 drbd: implement REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES
    0dbed96  drbd: make intelligent use of blkdev_issue_zeroout
which caused dm-thin backed DRBD volumes to zero blocks and run out of
space instead of passing discard to the backing device as defined by the
discard_zeroes_if_aligned option.

A helper function could reduce code duplication.
