I don't see what's multipathd specific about any of the handling here.
The real answer is that device-mapper does nothing with cookies on
table reload. We should never be calling dm_task_set_cookie() for 
dm_addmap(DM_DEVICE_RELOAD, ...) calls in the first place. We end up
creating a cookie, decrementing the cookie, incrementing the cookie, and
finally waiting on it, when we could just be creating a cookie and then
waiting on it.

It's kind of hard to find an easy to show example of this breaking. You
would need to have the dm_addmap() command fail with some other error than
EROFS.  If that happens, the dm_simplecmd() call will never happen, and
there will be a cookie sitting around on the system.  If we never added
a cookie to the task in dm_addmap(DM_DEVICE_RELOAD, ...), then there
wouldn't be this cookie sitting around.
