Hi,
Based on the comment in the include/linux/blkdev.h:bdev_get_queue()
the return value of the function will never be NULL. This patch series
removes those checks present in the blk-lib.c, also removes the not
needed local variable pointer to request_queue from the write_zeroes
helpers.
Below is the test log for discard (__blkdev_issue_disacrd()) and
write-zeroes (__blkdev_issue_write_zeroes/__blkdev_issue_zero_pages()).

blk-lib: don't check bdev_get_queue() NULL check
blk-lib: don't check bdev_get_queue() NULL check
blk-lib: don't check bdev_get_queue() NULL check
