dm mpath: avoid that path removal can trigger an infinite loop
If blk_get_request() fails, check whether the failure is due to a path being removed. If that is the case, fail the path by triggering a call to fail_path(). This avoids that the following scenario can be encountered while removing paths: * CPU usage of a kworker thread jumps to 100%. * Removing the DM device becomes impossible. Delay requeueing if blk_get_request() returns -EBUSY or -EWOULDBLOCK, and the queue is not dying, because in these cases immediate requeuing is inappropriate.
