I was able to reproduce on a test box, pretty trivially in fact:

# echo mq-deadline > /sys/block/nvme2n1/queue/scheduler
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme2n1
# mount /dev/nvme2n1 /data -o discard
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/10g bs=1M count=10k
# sync
# rm /data/10g
# sync <- triggered

Your patch still doesn't work, but mainly because we init the segments
to 0 when setting up a discard. The below works for me, and cleans up
the merge path a bit, since your patch was missing various adjustments
on both the merged and freed request.
