block: reinstate early return of -EOPNOTSUPP from blkdev_issue_discard
Commit 38f25255 ("block: add __blkdev_issue_discard") incorrectly disallowed the early return of -EOPNOTSUPP if the device doesn't support discard (or secure discard). This early return of -EOPNOTSUPP has always been part of blkdev_issue_discard() interface so there isn't a good reason to break that behaviour -- especially when it can be easily reinstated. The nuance of allowing early return of -EOPNOTSUPP vs disallowing late return of -EOPNOTSUPP is: if the overall device never advertised support for discards and one is issued to the device it is beneficial to inform the caller that discards are not supported via -EOPNOTSUPP. But if a device advertises discard support it means that at least a subset of the device does have discard support -- but it could be that discards issued to some regions of a stacked device will not be supported. In that case the late return of -EOPNOTSUPP must be disallowed.
