If a multipath device has no_path_retry set to a number and has lost all
paths, gone into recovery mode, and timed out, it will disable
queue_if_no_paths. After that, if the device is reloaded by multipath
outside of multipathd, it will re-enable queuieng on the device. When
multipathd later calls set_no_path_retry() to update the queueing state,
it will not disable queue_if_no_paths, since the device is still in the
recovery state, so it believes no work needs to be done. The device will
remain in the recovery state, with retry_ticks at 0, and queueing
enabled, even though there are no usable paths.
To fix this, in set_no_path_retry(), if no_path_retry is set to a number
and the device is queueing but it is in recovery mode and out of
retries with no usable paths, manually disable queue_if_no_path.
