This code is called when pg_init_progress becomes 0,
that means it is possible that multiple pgpaths have requested retries.
So you have to activate_path for all non-active pgpath in this pg,
like __pg_init_all_paths() does in the current code.

Also, you aren't clearing pg_init_required here.
I think it causes extra pg_init unnecessarily.

What do you think if we just call __pg_init_all_paths() here
instead of open coding it?
