[PATCH 40/41] block: remove the BLKDEV_IFL_BARRIER flag

[Tejun Heo]

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Remove support for barriers on discards, which is unused now.  Also
remove the DISCARD_NOBARRIER I/O type in favour of just setting the
rw flags up locally in blkdev_issue_discard.

tj: Also remove DISCARD_SECURE and use REQ_SECURE directly.
