dm mpath: Add timeout mechanism for queue_if_no_path
Add a configurable timeout mechanism to disable queue_if_no_path without
assistance from userspace multipathd. This reimplements multipathd's
no_path_retry mechanism in kernel space. This is motivated by the
desire to prevent processes from hanging indefinitely waiting for IO
in cases where multipathd might be unable to respond (after a failure
or for whatever reason).
Despite replicating userspace multipathd's policy configuration in
kernel space, it is important to prevent IOs from hanging forever,
waiting for userspace that may be incapable of behaving correctly.
Use of the provided "queue_if_no_path_timeout_secs" dm-multipath
module parameter is optional. This timeout mechanism is disabled by
default (by being set to 0).
