We've told from the very beginning that dm-multipth on nvme is not
a support configuration.  Red Hat decided to ignore that and live with the
pain.  Your major version change is a chance to fix this up on the Red Hat
side, not to resubmit bogus patches upstream.

In other words: please get your house in order NOW.
