From: Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com>
This patch allows path errors from the multipath ctr function to
propagate up to userspace as errno values from the ioctl() call.
This is in response to
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2008-May/msg00000.html
and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444421
The patch only lets through the errors that it needs to in order to
get the path errors from parse_path().
