unless something is wrong when I apply this patch, above line should be
kept under 80 char ?

something like following totally untested :-

diff --git a/drivers/nvme/host/multipath.c b/drivers/nvme/host/multipath.c
index 5397fb428b24..d16e976ae1a4 100644

nvme_ns_head *head, int node)
                 if (nvme_path_is_disabled(ns))
                         continue;

-               if (READ_ONCE(head->subsys->iopolicy) == NVME_IOPOLICY_NUMA)

                 else
                         distance = LOCAL_DISTANCE;
