dm mpath: fix infinite recursion in ioctl when no paths and !queue_if_no_path 

In multipath_prepare_ioctl(),
  - pgpath is a path selected from available paths
  - m->queue_io is true if we cannot send a request immediately to
    paths, either because:
      * there is no available path
      * the path group needs activation (pg_init)
          - pg_init is not started
          - pg_init is still running
  - m->queue_if_no_path is true if the device is configured to queue
    I/O if there are no available paths

If !pgpath && !m->queue_if_no_path, the handler should return -EIO.
However in the course of refactoring the condition check has broken
and returns success in that case.  Since bdev points to the dm device
itself, dm_blk_ioctl() calls __blk_dev_driver_ioctl() for itself and
recurses until crash.

You could reproduce the problem like this:

  # dmsetup create mp --table '0 1024 multipath 0 0 0 0'
  # sg_inq /dev/mapper/mp
  <crash>
  [  172.648615] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffc81b10268
  [  172.662843] PGD 19dd067 PUD 0
  [  172.666269] Thread overran stack, or stack corrupted
  [  172.671808] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
  ...

Fix the condition check with some clarifications.
