virtiofsd: Reverse req_list before processing it

With the thread pool disabled, we add the requests in the queue to a
GList, processing by iterating over there afterwards.

For adding them, we're using "g_list_prepend()", which is more
efficient but causes the requests to be processed in reverse order,
breaking the read-ahead and request-merging optimizations in the host
for sequential operations.

According to the documentation, if you need to process the request
in-order, using "g_list_prepend()" and then reversing the list with
"g_list_reverse()" is more efficient than using "g_list_append()", so
let's do it that way.

Testing on a spinning disk (to boost the increase of read-ahead and
request-merging) shows a 4x improvement on sequential write fio test:

Test:
fio --directory=/mnt/virtio-fs --filename=fio-file1 --runtime=20
--iodepth=16 --size=4G --direct=1 --blocksize=4K --ioengine libaio
--rw write --name seqwrite-libaio

Without "g_list_reverse()":
