[dm-devel] [PATCH 3/3] dm-mpath: remove hwhcontext from dm_path

This patch removes 'hwhcontext' from struct dm_path.
No functional change.

The hwhcontext should be moved to struct pgpath or somewhere
related to only multipath target, since hardware handler is
multipath target dependent.

However, only dm-mpath-hp-sw.c is using the hwhcontext now,
and using it is not necessary.  So just remove it.
