[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm mpath: never re-queue request if I_T_L nexus failure and no paths

Commit 751b2a7d (dm mpath: propagate target errors immediately) intended
to prevent request re-queue if I_T_L nexus failure and no paths are
available.

However, !m->queue_if_no_path does not imply !__must_push_back(m) so it
is possible that an -EBADE failure will result in requeue if
queue_if_no_path was previously enabled (but currently
!m->queue_if_no_path) and __must_push_back(m).

Fix this so requests that fail with -EBADE will never be re-queued.
Return -EIO if queue_if_no_path was really not enabled, otherwise if
queueing is enabled return -EBADE.
