Instead of adding another discard hack to scsi_finish_command(), how
about converting discard to REQ_TYPE_FS request? discard is FS request
from the perspective of the block layer. It also fixes a problem that
discard isn't retried in the case of UNIT ATTENTION.

I think that we can get more cleaner code if we handle discard as
normal (fs) request in the block layer (and scsi-ml). We need more
changes but this patch is the first step.

This patch depends on the patchset to convert flush request to
REQ_TYPE_FS:

The git tree is also available:

This patch doesn't address on this (since it's a different problem). I
think that scsi_setup_discard_cmnd() sees if it already allocates a
page before allocating a page. That's similar to how other prep
functions work, I think.
