[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 2/2] dm-ploop: set max discard segments to one

Discard is a special type of request that can have non-contiguous
bios.
Imagine we have a request with starting sector 0 and length 1024,
so read or write means [0, 1024) range in the file. For discard this
request can have 2 bios [0, 512) and [1024, 1536), but we always
discarded [0, 1024).
Set max_discard_segments to 1 to avoid such merges.
