SCSI and ATA both need to send data to the device.  In order to do this,
the BIO must be allocated with room for a page to be added, and the bio
needs to be passed to the discard prep function.  We also need to free
the page attached to the BIO before we free it.

init_request_from_bio() is not currently called from a context which
forbids sleeping, and to make sure it stays that way (so we don't have
to use GFP_ATOMIC), add a might_sleep() to it.

Matthew, note that prepare_discardfn() may fail,
and return an error result.  The above code does not
check for this or handle it very well.
