Stefan Haberland 964ce509e2 Revert "s390/dasd: Add discard support for ESE volumes"
This reverts commit 7e64db1597.

The thin provisioning feature introduces an IOCTL and the discard support
to allow userspace tools and filesystems to release unused and previously
allocated space respectively.

During some internal performance improvements and further tests, the
release of allocated space revealed some issues that may lead to data
corruption in some configurations when filesystems are mounted with
discard support enabled.

While we're working on a fix and trying to clarify the situation,
this commit reverts the discard support for ESE volumes to prevent
potential data corruption.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
