In later patches the op will no longer be a bitmap, so we will
not have REQ_WRITE set for all non reads like discard, flush,
and write same. Drivers will still want to treat them as writes
for accounting reasons, so this patch adds a helper to translate
a op to a data direction.

How about introducing two functions - op_is_write() and op_is_read() ? I think that approach will result in shorter and easier to read code in the contexts where these functions are used.
