null_blk: cleanup discard handling
null_handle_discard() is called from both null_handle_rq() and null_handle_bio(). As these functions are only passed a nullb_cmd structure, this forces pointer dereferences to identiify the discard operation code and to access the sector range to be discarded. Simplify all this by changing the interface of the functions null_handle_discard() and null_handle_memory_backed() to pass along the operation code, operation start sector and number of sectors. With this change null_handle_discard() can be called directly from null_handle_memory_backed(). Also add a message warning that the discard configuration attribute has no effect when memory backing is disabled. No functional change is introduced by this patch.
