The indirect discard in mkfs.btrfs on the loop device mapped to the region on disk can hang and fail the first-boot creation of the rootfs. Since there already is a discard done we anyway don't need to do it twice. This might help for most cases to avoid the failure in mkfs.btrfs. Keep track if the direct discard worked and then skip the mkfs.btrfs discard if it did. This still leaves the case where mkfs.btrfs can hang when the direct discard couldn't succeed and mkfs.btrfs tries again but since the conditions are rather the same it might be that this case is not easy to trigger. If the problem still shows up and the kernel won't be fixed soon we can still disable the mkfs discard for at least btrfs.
