Ok. This should fix all of them. Attached patch fixes:

1. If check_path returns less than 0 then we free the path and so we
cannot call repair on it of course.
2. If libcheck_init fails it memsets the checker, so we cannot call
repair on it too.
3. We can hit a race where when pathinfo is setting up a path, the path
could have gone down. In the DI_CHECKER chunk we then do not run
get_state and attach a checker. Later when check_path is run
path_offline we could still return PATH_DOWN or PATH_REMOVED and
get_state is again not run so we do not get to attach a checker again. I
was then running repair_path since the state was PATH_DOWN, and kaboom.

Attached patch should fix these issues.
