brd: implement discard support

The ramdisk memory utilization can only go up when data is written to
new pages. Implement discard to provide the possibility to reduce memory
usage for pages no longer in use. Aligned discards will free the
associated pages, if any, and determinisitically return zeroed data
until written again.
