Subject: [PATCH linux-2.6-block/for-linus] Fix discard requests accounting in the diskstats

When 2 discard requests are merged, the stats gets updated, but we do not
update statistics normally when a discard request is issued or completed. For
example the in_flight counter would be decremented when 2 discard requests are
merged, but it was not at all incremented when they were issued, and in_flight
counter will not be decremented, when they are completed as well.

This patch fixes this by adding discard requests to the statistics.
