3.11.10.12 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Heinz Mauelshagen <heinzm at redhat.com>
commit f1daa838e861ae1a0fb7cd9721a21258430fcc8c upstream.
The DM cache target cannot cope with discards that span multiple cache
blocks, so each discard bio that spans more than one cache block must
get split by the DM core.
