Subject: [PATCH 4.9 59/83] dm table: fix all_blk_mq inconsistency when an empty table is loaded

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@...hat.com>

commit 6936c12cf809850180b24947271b8f068fdb15e9 upstream.

An earlier DM multipath table could have been build ontop of underlying
devices that were all using blk-mq.  In that case, if that active
multipath table is replaced with an empty DM multipath table (that
reflects all paths have failed) then it is important that the
'all_blk_mq' state of the active table is transfered to the new empty DM
table.  Otherwise dm-rq.c:dm_old_prep_tio() will incorrectly clone a
request that isn't needed by the DM multipath target when it is to issue
IO to an underlying blk-mq device.

Fixes: e83068a5 ("dm mpath: add optional "queue_mode" feature")
