Does this 'if' case even need to exist? It looks unreachable since there
are only two callers of ext4_issue_discard(), and they both set 'biop'
to NULL. It looks like the last remaining caller using 'biop' was
removed with 55cdd0af2bc5ffc ("ext4: get discard out of jbd2 commit
kthread contex")

This pattern is repeated often in this series, so perhaps a helper
function for this common use case.
