dm mpath: remove harmful bio-based optimization
Removes the branching for edge-case where no SCSI device handler exists. The __map_bio_fast() method was far too limited, by only selecting a new pathgroup or path IFF there was a path failure, fix this be eliminating it in favor of __map_bio(). __map_bio()'s extra SCSI device handler specific MPATHF_PG_INIT_REQUIRED test is not in the fast path anyway. This change restores full path selector functionality for bio-based configurations that don't haave a SCSI device handler. But it should be noted that the path selectors do have an impact on performance for certain networks that are extremely fast (and don't require frequent switching).
