[dm-devel] [PATCH 6/6] libmultipath: orphan paths if coalesce_paths frees newmp

If coalesce_paths() is called without a mpvec, it will free all the
multipath devices on newmp at the end. This will clear pp->mpp from the
path, but it doesn't completely unitialize them. cli_add_map() can call
coalsce_paths() this way, when adding a device that doesn't currently
exist. cli_add_map() first creates the device in the kernel, and then
calls ev_add_map() to add it to multipathd. If something goes wrong in
ev_add_map(), the paths will still be initialized, even though they're
orphans.

Fix this by calling remove_map() to orphan the paths that belong to
the multipath devices being deleted by coalesce_paths().
