[SCSI] scsi_dh: Use SCSI device handler in dm-multipath
This patch converts dm-mpath to use scsi device handlers instead of dm's hardware handlers. This patch does not add any new functionality. Old behaviors remain and userspace tools work as is except that arguments supplied with hardware handler are ignored. One behavioral exception is: Activation of a path is synchronous in this patch, opposed to the older behavior of being asynchronous (changed in patch 07: scsi_dh: Add a single threaded workqueue for initializing a path) Note: There is no need to get a reference for the device handler module (as it was done in the dm hardware handler case) here as the reference is held when the device was first found. Instead we check and make sure that support for the specified device is present at table load time.
