[PATCH 1/7] block: Clean up merge logic

["Martin K. Petersen" <martin.petersen@oracle.com>]

From: "Martin K. Petersen" <martin.petersen@oracle.com>

Discards were globally marked as mergeable and as a result we had
several code paths that explicitly disabled merging when discard was
set. Mark discard requests as unmergable and remove special-casing of
REQ_DISCARD. The relevant nomerge flags are consolidated in blk_types.h,
and rq_mergeable() and bio_mergeable() have been modified to use them.

bio_is_rw() is used in place of bio_has_data() a few places. This is
done to to distinguish true reads and writes from other fs type requests
that carry a payload (e.g. WRITE SAME).
