We found a NULL pointer dereference problem when using dm-mpath target.
The problem is if we submit IO between loading and binding the table,
we could neither get a valid dm_target nor a valid dm table when
submitting request in dm_mq_queue_rq(). BIO based dm target could
handle this case in dm_submit_bio(). This patch fix this by checking
the mapping table before submitting request.
