[dm-devel] [PATCH] Fix segfault when fast_io_fail_tmo is empty in config file.

If the option "fast_io_fail_tmo" is specified in multipath.conf, without a value, the command 'multipathd reconfigure' segfaults.
With the patch included here, multipathd returns "error parsing config file" and does not segfaults.
