Move the last used path to the end of the list (least preferred) so that
ties are more evenly distributed.
For example, in case with three paths with one that is slower than
others, the remaining two would be unevenly used if they tie. This is
due to the rotation not being a truely fair distribution.
Illustrated: paths a, b, c, 'c' has 1 outstanding IO, a and b are 'tied'
Three possible rotations:
(a, b, c) -> best path 'a'
(b, c, a) -> best path 'b'
(c, a, b) -> best path 'a'
(a, b, c) -> best path 'a'
(b, c, a) -> best path 'b'
(c, a, b) -> best path 'a'
...
So 'a' is used 2x more than 'b', although they should be used evenly.
With this change, the most recently used path is always the least
preferred, removing this bias resulting in even distribution.
(a, b, c) -> best path 'a'
(b, c, a) -> best path 'b'
(c, a, b) -> best path 'a'
(c, b, a) -> best path 'b'
...

If a path selector has any use for a repeat_count it should be handled
locally and not depend on the dm-mpath core to be concerned with it.

Proper locking of the lists used by the path selectors should be handled
within the selectors (relying on dm-mpath.c code's use of the m->lock
spinlock was reckless).

Preparation for making __multipath_map() avoid taking the m->lock
spinlock -- in favor of using RCU locking.
repeat_count was primarily for bio-based DM multipath's benefit. There
is really no need for it anymore now that DM multipath is request-based.
As such, repeat_count > 1 is no longer honored and a warning is
displayed if the user attempts to use a value > 1. This is a temporary
change for the round-robin path-selector (as a later commit will restore
its support for repeat_count > 1).

Device mapper uses sscanf to convert arguments to numbers. The problem is that
the way we use it ignores additional unmatched characters in the scanned string.
For example, this `if (sscanf(string, "%d", &number) == 1)' will match a number,
but also it will match number with some garbage appended, like "123abc".
As a result, device mapper accepts garbage after some numbers. For example
the command `dmsetup create vg1-new --table "0 16384 linear 254:1bla 34816bla"'
will pass without an error.
This patch fixes all sscanf uses in device mapper. It appends "%c" with
a pointer to a dummy character variable to every sscanf statement.
The construct `if (sscanf(string, "%d%c", &number, &dummy) == 1)' succeeds
only if string is a null-terminated number (optionally preceded by some
whitespace characters). If there is some character appended after the number,
sscanf matches "%c", writes the character to the dummy variable and returns 2.
We check the return value for 1 and consequently reject numbers with some
garbage appended.

This patch adds a dynamic load balancer, dm-queue-length, which
balances the number of in-flight I/Os across the paths.
The code is based on the patch posted by Stefan Bader:
