deadline-iosched: allow non-sequential batching

Deadline currently only batches sector-contiguous requests, so except
for a few circumstances (e.g. requests in a single direction), it is
essentially first come first served.  This is bad for throughput, so
change it to CSCAN, which means requests in a batch do not need to be
sequential and are issued in increasing sector order.
