You may not get into this issue if you follow these steps:

step 1) Delete the paths for the dm device to be unmapped. (Ensure that this dm device is not being used for IO)
	  Once the last path is deleted, multipathd will remove this map.
 
step 2) Unmap the LUN from storage.

Hope this helps.

Vijay
