you could:
1) edit the LVM metadata. It's not terribly hard and you would not have to wait for a mirror sync.
2) down-convert ('lvconvert -m -1 vg/lv /dev/mapper/mpath3) and upconvert (same as before but '-m +1'). This will require you to sync the whole mirror.
outside of the fact that mpath3 will be used as the standard to sync from after a machine failure, there is nothing else special about being the 'master'. If you have a better reason than just aesthetics, you could do #1 or #2 above - otherwise, I don't see the harm in leaving it.
