Track the position (sector_t) of the most recently dispatched request
instead of tracking a pointer to the next request to dispatch. This
patch is the basis for patch "Handle requeued requests correctly".
Without this patch it would be significantly more complicated to make
sure that zoned writes are dispatched in LBA order per zone.
