[SCSI] dm mpath: propagate target errors immediately

DM now has more information about the nature of the underlying storage
failure.  Path failure is avoided if a request failed due to a target
error.  Instead the target error is immediately passed up the stack.

Discard requests that fail due to non-target errors may now be retried.

Errors restricted to the path will be retried or returned if no
paths are available, irregarding the no_path_retry setting.
