[dm-devel] [PATCH 4/5] libmultipath: remove unneeded code in coalesce_paths

[Benjamin Marzinski <bmarzins@redhat.com>]

The code at the end of coalesce_paths() removes a multipath device that
was just created/reloaded, if none of its path devices have pp->dev set.
This code is very old, and no longer has any actual effect. Multipath
devices no longer get placed in pathvec without having pp->dev set. Even
if they could, there's no point in creating/reloading the device and
then immediately removing it.
