Deadline iosched: Reset batch for ordered requests

The deadline I/O scheduler does not reset the batch count when starting
a new batch at a higher-sectored request.  This means the second and
subsequent batch in the same data direction will never exceed a single
request in size whenever higher-sectored requests are pending.

This patch gives new batches in the same data direction as old ones
their full quota of requests by resetting the batch count.
