[PATCH 6/6] nvme: ignore retries for multipath devices

For multipath devices we should switch paths after the retries
are exhausted, and not return an error.
IE we should first retry on the current path, and then switch
paths once the retries are exhausted.
Once all paths are down and all retries are exhausted we will
still retry the command, but then it'll be handled with the
all paths down logic in nvme_make_request().
