[dm-devel] [PATCH v2 3/4] dm: Fix PR release handling for non All Registrants

This patch fixes a bug where we are leaving the reservation in place
even though pr_release has run and returned success.

If we have a Write Exclusive, Exclusive Access, or Write/Exclusive
Registrants only reservation, the release must be sent down the path
that is the reservation holder. The problem is multipath_prepare_ioctl
most likely selected path N for the reservation, then later when we do
the release multipath_prepare_ioctl will select a completely different
path. The device will then return success becuase the nvme and scsi
specs say to return success if there is no reservation or if the release
is sent down from a path that is not the holder. We then think we have
released the reservation.

This patch has us loop over each path and send a release so we can make
sure the release is executed on the correct path. It has been tested with
windows failover clustering's validation test which checks this case, and
it has been tested manually (the libiscsi PGR tests don't have a test case
for this yet, but I will be adding one).
