#1582082 — [PATCH 3.16 045/306] dm mpath: check if path's request_queue is dying in activate_path()

3.16.40-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

commit f10e06b744074824fb8ec7066bc03ecc90918f5b upstream.

If pg_init_retries is set and a request is queued against a multipath
device with all underlying block device request_queues in the "dying"
state then an infinite loop is triggered because activate_path() never
succeeds and hence never calls pg_init_done().

This change avoids that device removal triggers an infinite loop by
failing the activate_path() which causes the "dying" path to be failed.
