Subject[PATCH v3] common/rc: Modify _require_batched_discard to improve test coverage
Date
A recent ext4 patch discussed [1] that some devices (eg LVMs) can
have a discard granularity as big as 42MB which makes it larger
than the group size of ext4 FS with 1k BS. This causes the FITRIM
IOCTL to fail.

This case was not correctly handled by this test since
"_require_batched_discard" incorrectly interpreted the FITRIM
failure as SCRATCH_DEV not supporting the IOCTL. This caused the test
to report "not run" instead of "failed" in case of large discard granularity.

Fix "_require_batched_discard" to use a more accurate method
to determine if discard is supported.
