In this case this happens because the update modifies several rows and different transactions may try to modify those rows (and obtain locks for them) in different order. E.g. one transaction first gets row 1 and then row 2, and the second transaction first updates row 2 and then row 1. The only way to overcome this that I know is to first to select for update with order by clause so that all transactions lock rows in the same order and do not cause deadlock conflicts.
