H A Ddm-mpath.cdiff 21136f89d76dc10d31d294f2bb79c585a039bad6 Wed Feb 10 10:58:45 CST 2016 Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> dm mpath: remove repeat_count support from multipath core

Preparation for making __multipath_map() avoid taking the m->lock
spinlock -- in favor of using RCU locking.

repeat_count was primarily for bio-based DM multipath's benefit. There
is really no need for it anymore now that DM multipath is request-based.
As such, repeat_count > 1 is no longer honored and a warning is
displayed if the user attempts to use a value > 1. This is a temporary
change for the round-robin path-selector (as a later commit will restore
its support for repeat_count > 1).
