FROMGIT: block/mq-deadline: Micro-optimize the batching algorithm



When dispatching the first request of a batch, the deadline_move_request()
call clears .next_rq[] for the opposite data direction. .next_rq[] is not
restored when changing data direction. Fix this by not clearing .next_rq[]
and by keeping track of the data direction of a batch in a variable instead.

This patch is a micro-optimization because:
- The number of deadline_next_request() calls for the read direction is
  halved.
- The number of times that deadline_next_request() returns NULL is reduced.
