Subject: [PATCH 4.19 169/191] ceph: check availability of mds cluster on mount after wait timeout

From: Xiubo Li <xiubli@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 97820058fb2831a4b203981fa2566ceaaa396103 ]

If all the MDS daemons are down for some reason, then the first mount
attempt will fail with EIO after the mount request times out.  A mount
attempt will also fail with EIO if all of the MDS's are laggy.

This patch changes the code to return -EHOSTUNREACH in these situations
and adds a pr_info error message to help the admin determine the cause.
