Don't set I/O Scheduler for Partitions

ZFS should only change the i/o scheduler for a disk when it has
ownership of the whole disk.  This is basically the same logic as
adjusting the write cache behavior on a disk.  This change updates
the vdev disk code to skip partitions when setting the i/o scheduler.

Closes #152
