The req->hard_nr_sectors is specifically marked block layer internal and since nr_sectors is what we're requesting and reading (we can't deal with partial transfers anyway since the drive won't tell us where it failed as far as I've been able to see and we do want to make read requests for as many sectors as possible at a time for speed) I believe that in our case the nr_sectors is fine.
