dm mpath: restrict queue_if_no_path state machine

Do not allow saving disabled queue_if_no_path if already saved as
enabled; implies multiple suspends (which shouldn't ever happen).  Log
if this unlikely scenario is ever triggered.

Also, only write MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH during presuspend or if
"fail_if_no_path" message.  MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH is no longer
always modified, e.g.: even if queue_if_no_path()'s save_old_value
argument wasn't set.  This just implies a bit tighter control over
the management of MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH.  Side-effect is
multipath_resume() doesn't reset MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH unless
MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH was set (during presuspend); and at that
time the MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH bit gets cleared.  So
MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH's use is much more narrow in scope.

Last, but not least, do _not_ disable queue_if_no_path during noflush
suspend.  There is no need/benefit to saving off queue_if_no_path via
MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH and clearing MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH for
noflush suspend -- by avoiding this needless queue_if_no_path flag
churn there is less potential for MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH to get lost.
Which avoids potential for IOs to be errored back up to userspace
during DM multipath's handling of path failures.

That said, this last change papers over a reported issue concerning
request-based dm-multipath's interaction with blk-mq, relative to
suspend and resume: multipath_endio is being called _before_
multipath_resume.  This should never happen if DM suspend's
blk_mq_quiesce_queue() + dm_wait_for_completion() is genuinely waiting
for all inflight blk-mq requests to complete.  Similarly:
drivers/md/dm.c:__dm_resume() clearly calls dm_table_resume_targets()
_before_ dm_start_queue()'s blk_mq_unquiesce_queue() is called.  If
the queue isn't even restarted until after multipath_resume(); the BIG
question that still needs answering is: how can multipath_end_io beat
multipath_resume in a race!?
