ext3: Add batched discard support for ext3
Walk through allocation groups and trim all free extents. It can be
invoked through FITRIM ioctl on the file system. The main idea is to
provide a way to trim the whole file system if needed, since some SSD's
may suffer from performance loss after the whole device was filled (it
does not mean that fs is full!).
It search for free extents in allocation groups specified by Byte range
start -> start+len. When the free extent is within this range, blocks are
marked as used and then trimmed. Afterwards these blocks are marked as
free in per-group bitmap.
[JK: Fixed up error handling and trimming of a single group]
