I still feel that it's better to make the default config const for
devices that may or may not be ALUA, and let detect_alua figure it out,
rather than allowing multipathd to override a specifically requested
ALUA hardware handler. This is especially true if
get_target_port_group_support() and get_target_port_group succeed, but
get_asymmetric_access_state() fails in detect_alua().  But I don't think
that transient alua errors like this are very likely during multpath
creation, so I not going to reject the patch.
