[PATCH] virtio_blk: set the default scheduler to none

virtio-blk is generally used in cloud computing scenarios, where the
performance of virtual disks is very important. The mq-deadline scheduler
has a big performance drop compared to none with single queue. In my tests,
mq-deadline 4k readread iops were 270k compared to 450k for none. So here
the default scheduler of virtio-blk is set to "none".
