[Drbd-dev] [PATCH 06/25] dm io: discards don't take a payload

Fix up do_region to not allocate a bio_vec for discards.  We've
got rid of the discard payload allocated by the caller years ago.

Obviously this wasn't actually harmful given how long it's been
there, but it's still good to avoid the pointless allocation.
