An invalid ioctl is an invalid ioctl, irrespective on whether
multipath has active paths or not. And for invalid ioctls
we do not have to wait for multipath to activate any paths,
but can rather return the error code immediately.
This resolves numerous instances of

udevd[]: worker [] unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100

we have seen during testing.

I've tweaked the header and code slightly, marked it for stable and
staged it here:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=a1989b330093578ea5470bea0a00f940c444c466

Should be on its way upstream on Friday.

Thanks.
