A simpler implementation of finding a merge request

What does this MR do?

This cleans up some code in the issues API as discussed in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/7180#note_19501743

The helper method merge_request_for_resolving_discussions was no longer needed as it was only used once. That made it possible to simplify the implementation.
