[PATCH v3 09/17] scsi-multipath: add scsi_mpath_{start,end}_request()

Add scsi_mpath_{start,end}_request() to handle updating private multipath
request data, like nvme_mpath_{start,end}_request().

New member Scsi_Host.mpath_nr_active is added. This is required for queue
depth multipath iopolicy.

For NVMe, this count is per controller. The reason is that many NSes may
be connected to a controller, so congestion should be judged at
controller level.

SCSI has no definition of a controller, but SCSI host is a comparable
concept.

Indeed, many SCSI disks may be connected to the same SCSI host, so it
makes sense to count number of active requests at this point. However,
for a transport like iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP, we have a separate SCSI
host per SCSI device (so there the count would be same at SCSI device
level).
