dm mpath: avoid attempting to activate null path
Path activation code is called even when the pgpath is NULL. This could lead to a panic in activate_path(). Such a panic is seen in -rt kernel. This problem has been there before the pg_init() was moved to a workqueue. Signed-off-by: Chandra Seetharaman <sekharan@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
