block: fix sector comparism in multiwrite_req_compare 

The difference between the start sectors of two requests can be larger
than the size of the "int" type, which can lead to a not correctly
sorted multiwrite array and thus spurious I/O errors and filesystem
corruption due to incorrect request merges.

So instead of doing the cute sector arithmetics trick spell out the
exact comparisms.

Spotted by Kevin Wolf based on a testcase from Michael Tokarev.
