sd: tweak discard heuristics to work around QEMU SCSI issue



7985090a changed the discard heuristics to give preference to the
WRITE SAME commands that (unlike UNMAP) guarantee deterministic results.

Ming Lei discovered that QEMU SCSI's WRITE SAME implementation
internally relied on limits that were only communicated for the UNMAP
case. And therefore discard commands backed by WRITE SAME would fail.

Tweak the heuristics so we still pick UNMAP in the LBPRZ=0 case and only
prefer the WRITE SAME variants if the device has the LBPRZ flag set.
