If "mke2fs -n" is used, there should be no changes to the underlying
device.  Unfortunately, when the "discard" option was added in commit
c7cd908be59f48c66b4f3ac9a631ffe3dde4f1ab, it did not check for the "-n"
flag, and will discard all data on a flash device even if "-n" is given.

Check for the "noaction" flag before discarding any filesystem data.

Oh, crud.

I guess that means we should probably release e2fsprogs 1.41.15.
