    virtio_blk: fix the discard_granularity and discard_alignment queue limits

    The discard_alignment queue limit is named a bit misleading means the
    offset into the block device at which the discard granularity starts.

    On the other hand the discard_sector_alignment from the virtio 1.1 looks
    similar to what Linux uses as discard granularity (even if not very well
    described):

      "discard_sector_alignment can be used by OS when splitting a request
       based on alignment. "

    And at least qemu does set it to the discard granularity.

    So stop setting the discard_alignment and use the virtio
    discard_sector_alignment to set the discard granularity.

    Fixes: 1f23816b ("virtio_blk: add discard and write zeroes support")
