Revert "btrfs: Honour FITRIM range constraints during free space trim"
This reverts commit 038ec2c13e0d1f7b9d45a081786f18f75b65f11b.
There is currently no corresponding patch in master due to additional
changes that would be significantly different from plain revert in the
respective stable branch.
The range argument was not handled correctly and could cause trim to
overlap allocated areas or reach beyond the end of the device. The
address space that fitrim normally operates on is in logical
coordinates, while the discards are done on the physical device extents.
This distinction cannot be made with the current ioctl interface and
caused the confusion.
The bug depends on the layout of block groups and does not always
happen. The whole-fs trim (run by default by the fstrim tool) is not
affected.
