If discovery is disabled locally then the discovery thread will not
modify any peer objects as a result of the discovery process. Thus,
the primary NID of any peer we're asked to discover will not change
as a result of discovery. Therefore, we do not need to actually
perform discovery in LNetPrimaryNID() if discovery is disabled
locally. Since this routine can result in long client mount times
when a Lustre server is down we should avoid this unnecessary
discovery.
