Aaron Carroll 6f5d8aa638 Deadline iosched: Fix batching fairness
After switching data directions, deadline always starts the next batch
from the lowest-sector request.  This gives excessive deadline expiries
and large latency and throughput disparity between high- and low-sector
requests; an order of magnitude in some tests.

This patch changes the batching behaviour so new batches start from the
request whose expiry is earliest.
