We've updated this patch as below:

For blkzoned device, section unit based discard will be enabled by default.

For other type of devices, IMO, this is a tradeoff in between small-sized
discard support and memory overhead, so I proposed to add such mount option
to support selection from different benefit point.

Thanks,
