Multipath already notices if there is any empty device with the same alias and wwid as a device it is trying to create, and switches to a reload. However, if the empty device has a different alias but the same wwid, instead of reloading and renaming the device like it would for a device with a table. multipath will attempt to create a new device and fail. Fix this by checking for these devices, and doing a reload and rename.
