[patch v2 2/6] blk: dont allow discard request merge temporarily

From: Shaohua Li

Didn't allow discard request merge temporarily, as SCSI layer isn't ready
for discard merge as Martin Petersen pointed out. This isn't fair for
non-scsi device, but looks this is the only way I can do currently.

We should have the same issue before, but maybe because discard merge is
very rare case. But now raid0/10 makes the merge quite possible, so we need
disable it explicitly.
