If users forget the closing brace for a section in multipath.conf, multipath has no way to detect that. When it sees the keyword at the start of the next section, it will complain that there is an invalid keyword, because that keyword doesn't belong in previous section (which was never ended with a closing brace). This can confuse users. To make this easier to understand, when multipath prints an invalid keyword message, it now also prints the current section name, which can give users a hint that they didn't end the previous section.
