need_switch_pathgroup() only checks if the currently used pathgroup is
not the highest priority pathgroup. If it isn't, all multipathd does is
instruct the kernel to switch to the correct pathgroup. However, the
kernel treats the pathgroups as if they were ordered by priority. When
the kernel runs out of paths to use in the currently selected pathgroup,
it will start checking the pathgroups in order until it finds one with
usable paths.
need_switch_pathgroup() should also check if the pathgroups are out of
order, and if so, multipathd should reload the map to reorder them
correctly.
