Am I confused, or does the code not match the changelog?

It looks like it is still trying to discard mapped page cache pages:

+	file = page_is_file_cache(page);
+	ttu_flags = TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS;
+retry:
+	if (!(mode & MIGRATE_DISCARD) || !file || PageDirty(page))
+		ttu_flags |= (TTU_MIGRATION | TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK);
+	else
+		discard_mode = true;
+
  	/* Establish migration ptes or remove ptes */
-	try_to_unmap(page, TTU_MIGRATION|TTU_IGNORE_MLOCK|TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS);
+	rc = try_to_unmap(page, ttu_flags);

  skip_unmap:
-	if (!page_mapped(page))
-		rc = move_to_new_page(newpage, page, remap_swapcache, mode);
+	if (rc == SWAP_SUCCESS) {
+		if (!discard_mode)
+			rc = move_to_new_page(newpage, page,
+					remap_swapcache, mode);
+		else {
+
+			rc = discard_page(page);
+			goto uncharge;
+		}
