dm thin: correct comments
Remove documentation for unimplemented 'trim' message. I'd planned a 'trim' target message for shrinking thin devices, but this is better handled via the discard ioctl.

242 Delete mappings from the end of a thin device. Irreversible.
243 You might want to use this if you're reducing the size of
244 your thinly-provisioned device. In many cases, due to the
245 sharing of blocks between devices, it is not possible to
246 determine in advance how much space 'trim' will release. (In
247 future a userspace tool might be able to perform this
248 calculation.)
