[PATCH 04/11] virtio_blk: fix the discard_granularity and discard_alignment queue limits

The discard_alignment queue limit is named a bit misleading means the
offset into the block device at which the discard granularity starts.

On the other hand the discard_sector_alignment from the virtio 1.1 looks
similar to what Linux uses as discard granularity (even if not very well
described):

  "discard_sector_alignment can be used by OS when splitting a request
   based on alignment. "

And at least qemu does set it to the discard granularity.

So stop setting the discard_alignment and use the virtio
discard_sector_alignment to set the discard granularity.
