exfat: support batch discard of clusters when freeing clusters

If the discard mount option is enabled, the file's clusters are
discarded when the clusters are freed. Discarding clusters one by
one will significantly reduce performance. Poor performance may
cause soft lockup when lots of clusters are freed.

This commit improves performance by discarding contiguous clusters
in batches.

Measure the performance by:

  # truncate -s 80G /mnt/file
  # time rm /mnt/file
