[for-4.16 PATCH v2 4/5] dm mpath: use NVMe error handling to know when an error is retryable

Like NVMe's native multipath support, DM multipath's NVMe bio-based
support now allows NVMe core's error handling to requeue an NVMe blk-mq
request's bios onto DM multipath's queued_bios list for resubmission
once fail_path() occurs.  multipath_failover_rq() serves as a
replacement for the traditional multipath_end_io_bio().

DM multipath's bio submission to NVMe must be done in terms that allow
the reuse of NVMe core's error handling.  The following care is taken to
realize this reuse:

- NVMe core won't attempt to retry an IO if it has
  REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT set; so only set it in __map_bio().

- Setup underlying request_queue's 'failover_rq_fn' callback, to use
  multipath_failover_rq, so that NVMe blk-mq requests use it
  if/when NVMe core determines a request must be retried.
  (a new target_type 'cleanup_device' hook is established to properly
   reset each underlying requests_queue's 'failover_rq_fn' on final
   teardown of the multipath device)
