Why would we want to fall back?  nvme_round_robin_path only
returns NULL in case there is a single disabled path, in which
case __nvme_find_path won't find anything either.  I'd go for something
like this:

Subject: nvme-multipath: do not fall back to __nvme_find_path() for
 non-optimized paths

When nvme_round_robin_path() finds a valid namespace we should be using it;
falling back to __nvme_find_path() for non-optimized paths will cause the
result from nvme_round_robin_path() to be ignored for non-optimized paths.
