block: leave the request timeout timer running even on an empty list

For sync IO, we'll often do them serialized. This means we'll be touching
the queue timer for every IO, as opposed to only occasionally like we
do for queued IO. Instead of deleting the timer when the last request
is removed, just let continue running. If a new request comes up soon
we then don't have to readd the timer again. If no new requests arrive,
the timer will expire without side effect later.

This improves high iops sync IO by ~1%.
