dm mpath: remove harmful bio-based optimization
commit dbaf971c9cdf10843071a60dcafc1aaab3162354 upstream.
Removes the branching for edge-case where no SCSI device handler
exists. The __map_bio_fast() method was far too limited, by only
selecting a new pathgroup or path IFF there was a path failure, fix this
be eliminating it in favor of __map_bio(). __map_bio()'s extra SCSI
device handler specific MPATHF_PG_INIT_REQUIRED test is not in the fast
path anyway.
This change restores full path selector functionality for bio-based
configurations that don't haave a SCSI device handler. But it should be
noted that the path selectors do have an impact on performance for
certain networks that are extremely fast (and don't require frequent
switching).
