When creating a multipath device, if the queue_if_no_path parameter is
specified it gets ignored.
While the queue_if_no_path variable is correctly set to 1, the
saved_queue_if_no_path gets set to 0. When the device is subsequently made
live (resumed), the saved value (0) always overwrites the live value (1) so
the option *always* gets turned off.
The fix adds a parameter to the queue_if_no_path() function to indicate
whether the previous value should be preserved or not - if not, as when the
device is being set up, the saved value is set to the new value (1).

Prevent more than one priority group initialisation function from being
outstanding at once. Otherwise the completion functions interfere with each
other. Also, reloading the table could reference a freed pointer.
Only reset queue_io in pg_init_complete if another pg_init isn't required.
Skip process_queued_ios if the queue is empty so that we only trigger a
pg_init if there's I/O.

To avoid deadlock when suspending a multipath device after all its paths have
failed, stop queueing any I/O that is about to fail *before* calling
freeze_bdev instead of after.
Instead of setting a multipath 'suspended' flag which would have to be reset
if an error occurs during the process, save the previous queueing state and
leave userspace to restore if it wishes.

The multipath destructor must flush its workqueue. Otherwise items that
reference the destroyed object could remain.

READA errors failing with EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN do not constitute a valid
reason for failing the path; this lead to erratic errors on DM multipath
devices. This error can be safely propagated upwards without failing the
path.

dm-mpath.c needs to use a private workqueue (like other dm targets already do)
to avoid interfering with users of the default workqueue.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
