From: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com>
That allows for disabling discard in a way that some guest
OSes (e.g. Windows) understand and do not try to trim the disk.
Resolves: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-72006
Signed-off-by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com>

Out of all the approaches for allowing previously default value 100% of them are
ugly. This one is maybe slightly more error-prone.
