When handle_uninitialized_path() checks a path, it will either: 1. trigger a new uevent to initalize the path, in which case it won't check the path again until that uevent is processed and updates pp->tick 2. blacklist the path, in which case the path gets removed 3. intialize the path correctly, in which case it sets pp->tick = 1 4. fail to initialize the path, in which case it was supposed to set pp->tick to max_checkint, but instead it set pp->checkint to max_checkint, which never worked correctly. By setting pp->tick to max_checkint at the start, handle_uninitialized_path() will continue to work as it previously did, except in case 4, where in now works correctly. There's no point in messing with pp->checkint for paths that haven't been initialized yet.
