[PATCH 1/6] nvme-multipath: do not assign ->current_path in __nvme_find_path()

From: Hannes Reinecke <hare at suse.de>

__nvme_find_path() is the fallback if no paths are selected, but
setting ->current_path[] is only relevant for 'numa' and 'round-robin'
iopolicies. So move it out of __nvme_find_path() to avoid a pointless
assignment for other path checkers.
