Whenever multipath_dtr is happening, we should prevent queueing any further path
activation work. There was a kernel panic where after pg_init_done() decrements
pg_init_in_progress to 0, wait_for_pg_init_completion call assumes there are no
more pending path management commands. But if pg_init_required is set by
pg_init_done call due to retriable mode_select errors , then process_queued_ios()
will again queue the path activation work. If free_multipath call has been
completed by the time activate_path work is called, kernel panic was seen on
accessing multipath members.
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000090
RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa003db1b>] [<ffffffffa003db1b>] activate_path+0x1b/0x30 [dm_multipath]
[<ffffffff81090ac0>] worker_thread+0x170/0x2a0
[<ffffffff81096c80>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40
This patch will fix the issue by preventing any further path activations when
multipath structures are being freed during table suspend/reload.
