dm mpath: eliminate use of spinlock in IO fast-paths

Browse Source 
The primary motivation of this commit is to improve the scalability of
DM multipath on large NUMA systems where m->lock spinlock contention has
been proven to be a serious bottleneck on really fast storage.

The ability to atomically read a pointer, using lockless_dereference(),
is leveraged in this commit.  But all pointer writes are still protected
by the m->lock spinlock (which is fine since these all now occur in the
slow-path).

The following functions no longer require the m->lock spinlock in their
fast-path: multipath_busy(), __multipath_map(), and do_end_io()

And choose_pgpath() is modified to _not_ update m->current_pgpath unless
it also switches the path-group.  This is done to avoid needing to take
the m->lock everytime __multipath_map() calls choose_pgpath().
But m->current_pgpath will be reset if it is failed via fail_path().
