Multipath was accidentally trying to write to the directory where dev_loss_tmo and fast_io_fail_tmo were located instead to the files themselves. Also, if dev_loss_tmo was unset, it was trying to set it to 0. Finally, it wasn't correctly checking for errors in setting the files. This patch fixes these issues.
