Agreed. I think the setting of current_pgpath = NULL; dates back to the
times where we always switched to the highest priority group if it had
any available paths.

While it doesn't have any bad side effects (beyond invoking the
__choose_pgpath()), it's a cleanup and optimization to remove that
line.
