dm mpath: delay activate_path retry on SCSI_DH_RETRY
This patch adds a user-configurable 'pg_init_delay_msecs' feature. Use
this feature to specify the number of milliseconds to delay before
retrying scsi_dh_activate, when SCSI_DH_RETRY is returned.
SCSI Device Handlers return SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY if we could retry
activation immediately and SCSI_DH_RETRY in cases where it is better to
retry after some delay.
Currently we immediately retry scsi_dh_activate irrespective of
SCSI_DH_IMM_RETRY and SCSI_DH_RETRY.
The 'pg_init_delay_msecs' feature may be provided during table create or
load, e.g.:
dmsetup create --table "0 20971520 multipath 3 queue_if_no_path \
pg_init_delay_msecs 2500 ..." mpatha
The default for 'pg_init_delay_msecs' is 2000 milliseconds.
Maximum configurable delay is 60000 milliseconds. Specifying a
'pg_init_delay_msecs' of 0 will cause immediate retry.
