[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm-integrity: revert the discard patch

Revert the commit 7a5b96b4784454ba258e83dc7469ddbacd3aaac3 ("dm integrity:
use discard support when recalculating").

There's a bug that when we write some data beyond the current recalculate
boundary, the checksum will be rewritten with the discard filler later.
And the data will no longer have integrity protection.

There's no easy fix for this case, so we revert the whole patch.
