This reverts the change made for RHBZ#1168144. The warning is now
always displayed.
It would be nice to make the warning actionable, but there is not a
lot that end users can do since fstrim is such a complex topic
interacting with all filesystem and storage layers.

The idea is OK, but the message a bit too long perhaps? I'd keep the
warning short here, and add the longer bit in an own paragraph in the
manual.
