[BLOCK] as-iosched: update alias handling

Unlike other ioscheds, as-iosched handles alias by chaing them using
rq->queuelist.  As aliased requests are very rare in the first place,
this complicates merge/dispatch handling without meaningful
performance improvement.  This patch updates as-iosched to dump
aliased requests into dispatch queue as other ioscheds do.
