No need to add a trivial comment, since it's the section size which we can
easily translate it.

The block allocator checks all the issued bios whether any of them contains
the newly allocated address or not. If one large discard command was issued,
it needs to wait for its completion, even if we want to allocate part of its
address space.

In addition, HM-SMR is required to issue discard/reset in a unit of section
size.
