[PATCH] nvme: discard_alignment should be set to 0

[Andrzej Jakowski]

According to the documentation discard_alignment is acctually an offset
indicating how many bytes the beginning of the device is offset from
internal discard allocation unit. It should be either discovered from
underlying hardware or set to 0. Setting it to logical block size may
affect the mechanism of splitting discard request especially for
partitioned device and ultimately negatively impact performance.
