From: Mike Snitzer on
Don't alloc discard bio with a biovec in blkdev_issue_discard. Doing so
means bio_has_data() will not be true until the SCSI layer adds the
payload to the discard request via blk_add_request_payload.

bio_{enable,disable}_inline_vecs are not expected to be widely used so
they were exported using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

This patch avoids the need for the following VM accounting fix for
discards: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/23/361
NOTE: Jens, you said you applied Tao Ma's fix but I cannot see it in
your linux-2.6-block's for-next or for-2.6.36... as such I didn't revert
it in this patch.
