For queue-depth I/O policy, this patch fixes unbalanced I/Os across
nvme multipaths.
Issue Description:
The RETRY disposition incorrectly increments ns->ctrl->nr_active
counter and reinitializes iostat start-time. In such cases nr_active
counter never goes back to zero until that path disconnects and
reconnects.
Such a path is not chosen for new I/Os if multiple RETRY cases on a given
a path cause its queue-depth counter to be artificially higher compared
to other paths. This leads to unbalanced I/Os across paths.
The patch skips incrementing nr_active if NVME_MPATH_CNT_ACTIVE is already
set. And it skips restarting io stats if NVME_MPATH_IO_STATS is already set.

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
