dm mpath: requeue I/O during pg_init 

When pg_init is running no I/O can be submitted to the underlying
devices, as the path priority etc might change.  When using queue_io for
this, requests will be piling up within multipath as the block I/O
scheduler just sees a _very fast_ device.  All of this queued I/O has to
be resubmitted from within multipathing once pg_init is done.

This approach has the problem that it's virtually impossible to
abort I/O when pg_init is running, and we're adding heavy load
to the devices after pg_init since all of the queued I/O needs to be
resubmitted _before_ any requests can be pulled off of the request queue
and normal operation continues.

This patch will requeue the I/O that triggers the pg_init call, and
return 'busy' when pg_init is in progress.  With these changes the block
I/O scheduler will stop submitting I/O during pg_init, resulting in a
quicker path switch and less I/O pressure (and memory consumption) after
pg_init.
