[RFC PATCH 14/16] multipath.rules: find_multipaths+ignore_wwids logic

[Martin Wilck <mwilck@suse.com>]

Solve the problem that, when the first path to a device appears,
we don't know if more paths are going to follow.

These rules apply only if both find_multipaths and ignore_wwids are
set in multipath.conf.

multipath -u sets DM_MULTIPATH_DEVICE_PATH=2 if a device is "maybe"
a multipath member (not blacklisted, only one path seen).
In that case, pretend to be a multipath member and disallow further
processing by systemd (allowing multipathd some time to grab the path),
and check again after some time. If the path is still not multipathed by then,
pass it on to systemd for further processing. Ensure that this happens only
once. The timeout values FIND_MULTIPATHS_BOOT_TMO (time to wait since system
boot) and FIND_MULTIPATHS_PATH_TMO (time to wait after detection of first
path) can be configured in udev rules that are run before "multipath.rules".
The earlier timeout wins, thus if the first path is detected after
FIND_MULTIPATHS_BOOT_TMO has expired, the timer will expire immediately.
