There are two cases when handle DISCARD merge.
If max_discard_segments == 1, the bios/requests need to be contiguous
to merge. If max_discard_segments > 1, it takes every bio as a range
and different range needn't to be contiguous.

But now, attempt_merge screws this up. It always consider contiguity
for DISCARD for the case max_discard_segments > 1 and cannot merge
contiguous DISCARD for the case max_discard_segments == 1, because
rq_attempt_discard_merge always returns false in this case.
This patch fixes both of the two cases above.

V4:
 - introduce blk_try_req_merge as suggestion of Christoph.

V3:
 - Introduce blk_discard_mergable into attempt_merge and
   blk_try_merge.
 - Some comment changes.

V2:
 - Add max_discard_segments > 1 checking in attempt_merge.
 - Change patch title and comment.
 - Add more comment in attempt_merge

Looks good to me, but:

Please get rid of the redundant else.

OK, I will change it and post next version.
