The guest sends discard requests as u64 sector/count pairs, but the
block layer operates internally with s64/s32 pairs. The conversion
leads to IO errors in the guest, the discard request is not processed.
domU.cfg:
'vdev=xvda, format=qcow2, backendtype=qdisk, target=/x.qcow2'
domU:
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/xvda
Discarding device blocks: failed - Input/output error
Fix this by splitting the request into chunks of BDRV_REQUEST_MAX_SECTORS.
Add input range checking to avoid overflow.
Fixes f313520 ("xen_disk: add discard support")
