[dm-devel] [PATCH 4/4] dm-writecache: count the number of blocks discarded, not the number of discard bios

Change dm-writecache, so that it counts the number of blocks discarded
instead of the number of discard bios. Make it consistent with the read
and write statistics counters that were changed to count the number of
blocks instead of bios.
