Allow elevators to sort/merge discard requests



But blkdev_issue_discard() still emits requests which are interpreted as
soft barriers, because naïve callers might otherwise issue subsequent
writes to those same sectors, which might cross on the queue (if they're
reallocated quickly enough).

Callers still _can_ issue non-barrier discard requests, but they have to
take care of queue ordering for themselves.
