[PATCH] drbd: fix NULL pointer deref in blk_add_request_payload

From: Philipp Reisner
Date: Wed Jun 25 2014 - 11:53:32 EST


From: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@xxxxxxxxxx>

Discards don't have any payload.
But the scsi layer still expects a bio_vec it can use internally,
see sd_setup_discard_cmnd() and blk_add_request_payload().
