While you are removing special casing of REQ_DISCARD, may be following is
also a good candidate.

static inline int blk_do_io_stat(struct request *rq)
{
        return rq->rq_disk &&
               (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_IO_STAT) &&
               (rq->cmd_type == REQ_TYPE_FS ||
                (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_DISCARD));
}

Thanks
