[dm-devel] [PATCH 2/2] multipath: fix return code handling in delegate_to_multipathd

Error exit was handled in delegate_to_multipathd() and success
exit after it returned. That's inconsistent. Fix it. Introduce
symbolic return values for better readability.

Fixes: 506d253b "multipath: delegate dangerous commands to multipathd"
