OK, thanks for confirming.

This is a secondary issue that can be dealt with independent of the rest
of your DM patchset.
I've staged most of your changes (with slight tweaks), see:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/log/?h=dm-4.9
Only remaining issue is the queue dying race(s) in dm-multipath.
