Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 2/3] dm mpath: propagate target errors immediately

DM now has more information about the nature of the underlying storage
failure.  Path failure is avoided if a request failed due to a target
error.  Instead the target error is immediately passed up the stack.

Discard requests that fail due to non-target errors may now be retried.
