[PATCH V2 1/1] block: return ELEVATOR_DISCARD_MERGE if possible

[PATCH V2 1/1] block: return ELEVATOR_DISCARD_MERGE if possible

[Ming Lei]

When merging one bio to request, if they are discard IO and the queue
supports multi-range discard, we need to return ELEVATOR_DISCARD_MERGE
because both block core and related drivers(nvme, virtio-blk) can't
handle mixed discard io merge(traditional IO merge together with
discard merge) well.

Fix the issue by trying to return ELEVATOR_DISCARD_MERGE first in this
situation, so both blk-mq and drivers just need to handle multi-range discard.

In theory, the fixes should be 1e739730c5b9 ("block: optionally merge
discontiguous discard bios into a single request"). The reason why it
isn't be triggered before 2705dfb20947 ("block: fix discard request merge")
is that the nr_segment of each bio is exactly 1 for multi-range device.

Fixes: 2705dfb20947 ("block: fix discard request merge")
