You'll have to traverse scatterlist and extract the descriptor from
there. You can use scsi_for_each_sg() to walk the list.

If you only care about in-kernel discards it's pretty easy since we only
issue a single descriptor. If you want to support arbitrary block pc
UNMAP commands you'll have to be able to deal with multiple descriptors
across multiple scatterlist elements. But the accessor macro makes that
easy so I suggest you take that approach.
