[PATCH 2/2] block: support bio merge for multi-range discard

[Ming Lei]

So far multi-range discard treats each bio as one segment(range) of single
discard request. This way becomes not efficient if lots of small sized
discard bios are submitted, and one example is raid456.

Support bio merge for multi-range discard for improving lots of small
sized discard bios.

Turns out it is easy to support it:

1) always try to merge bio first

2) run into multi-range discard only if bio merge can't be done

3) add rq_for_each_discard_range() for retrieving each range(segment)
of discard request
