[Nbd] [PATCH 1/3] NBD proto: forbid TRIM command without negotiation



From: Pavel Borzenkov <pborzenkov@...2319...>

There is a loophole in the protocol that allows a client to send TRIM
request even if support for it wasn't negotiated with the server. State
explicitly that the client MUST NOT send such command without prior
successful negotiation.
