Removes the branching for edge-case where no SCSI device handler
exists. The __map_bio_fast() method was far too limited, by only
selecting a new pathgroup or path IFF there was a path failure, fix this
be eliminating it in favor of __map_bio(). __map_bio()'s extra SCSI
device handler specific MPATHF_PG_INIT_REQUIRED test is not in the fast
path anyway.
This change restores full path selector functionality for bio-based
configurations that don't haave a SCSI device handler. But it should be
noted that the path selectors do have an impact on performance for
certain networks that are extremely fast (and don't require frequent
switching).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
