    xfs: check if device support discard in xfs_ioc_trim()
    
    Right now we, are relying on the fact that when we attempt to
    actually do the discard, blkdev_issue_discar() returns -EOPNOTSUPP
    and the user is informed that the device does not support discard.
    
    However, in the case where the we do not hit any suitable free
    extent to trim in FITRIM code, it will finish without any error.
    This is very confusing, because it seems that FITRIM was successful
    even though the device does not actually supports discard.
    
    Solution: Check for the discard support before attempt to search for
    free extents.

    xfs: prevent leaking uninitialized stack memory in FSGEOMETRY_V1
    
    The FSGEOMETRY_V1 ioctl (and its compat equivalent) calls out to
    xfs_fs_geometry() with a version number of 3.  This code path does not
    fill in the logsunit member of the passed xfs_fsop_geom_t, leading to
    the leaking of four bytes of uninitialized stack data to potentially
    unprivileged callers.
    
    v2 switches to memset() to avoid future issues if structure members
    change, on suggestion of Dave Chinner.
