Exposing this feature looks useful, but I think adding a new interface
might be somewhat redundant, and it's also difficult to name the new
interface. What about extend this interface to include 3 types? When
read, it exposes the following:

 - none     : the device doesn't support BLK_FEAT_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP.
 - enabled  : the device supports BLK_FEAT_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP, but the
              BLK_FLAG_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP_DISABLED is not set.
 - disabled : the device supports BLK_FEAT_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP, and the
              BLK_FLAG_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP_DISABLED is set.

Users can write '0' and '1' to disable and enable this operation if it
is not 'none', thoughts?

Best regards,
Yi.
