Subject: [PATCH] dm bufio: delete unused and inefficient
Git-commit: a1c979f330cb82cae7a3b19464f9815e43060fe3
Patch-mainline: v5.8-rc1
References: bsc#1175995,jsc#SLE-15608
 dm_bufio_discard_buffers

There is no user for this interface.  If in future it is needed it can
be reimplemented to walk the rbtree of buffers instead of doing
block-by-block lookups.
