First, we need change the patch title to clarify that it fixes a bug.
i.e. something like:
nvme: fix nvme-mpath misaccounting of inflight active IO
Second, we need to add a fixes tag (i.e. addition of nvme-mpath
nr_active accounting)
Third, we need a code-comment that explains this subtlety because it is
not trivial.
