    ploop: io_kaio: Introduce 4K discard_granuality with 1M clearing indexes when possible
    
    1)In case of discard size is less then 1 cluster,
      a small hole is punched.
    2)In case of discard request covers the whole cluster,
      index in BAT is also cleared.
    
    Since small 4K holes require 4K discard_granuality,
    this makes impossible to use block level to make
    discard requests 1 cluster aligned. This requires
    us to split the requests manually, so force_split_discard_reqs
    parameter was introduced.
    
    See comments in kaio_queue_settings() for details.
