block: prevent merges of discard and write requests Add logic to prevent two I/O requests being merged if only one of them is a discard. Ditto secure discard. Without this fix, it is possible for write requests to transform into discard requests. For example: Submit bio 1 to discard 8 sectors from sector n Submit bio 2 to write 8 sectors from sector n + 16 Submit bio 3 to write 8 sectors from sector n + 8 Bio 1 becomes request 1. Bio 2 becomes request 2. Bio 3 is merged with request 2, and then subsequently request 2 is merged with request 1 resulting in just one I/O request which discards all 24 sectors.
