block: add plug for blkdev_issue_discard
Last post of this patch appears lost, so I resend this. Now discard merge works, add plug for blkdev_issue_discard. This will help discard request merge especially for raid0 case. In raid0, a big discard request is split to small requests, and if correct plug is added, such small requests can be merged in low layer.
