OK, just FYI, I had to change bio_has_data() to test bio->bi_vcnt
(rather than bio->bi_io_vec != NULL) because a discard bio has a
non-NULL bio->bi_io_vec (likely points to the bio->bi_inline_vecs but I
didn't check yet).

But I haven't put my finger on _why_ a discard bio has bio->bi_io_vec
(but given my use of DM, bio comes from bio_alloc_bioset, and DM passes
original bio->bi_max_vecs for nr_iovecs).

Anyway, this bio_has_data() change seemed reasonable considering
bio_data() checks bio->bi_vcnt.
