I can see that this makes some sense for the cli_reload() path (see
below). But for uev_update_path(), I'm not sure. This is the code path
where a paths's "ro" attribute changes. With this change, you'll call
update_multipath_strings() for every uevent that arrives, causing a lot
of extra work on every uevent. This may hurt, in particular if lots of
uevents arrive at the same time. I fail to see what you gain by doing
the extra work. If path states change, either dm events or uevents for
the other paths in the map will likely arrive soon and cause the other
path's states to be fixed, or check_path() will detect the state
changes and fix the DM states eventually. No?
For cli_reload() it'd actually be the question if we should re-
calculate priorities and path groups in multipathd before calling
update_path_groups() / reload_map().
