Hmm. Just to be on the safe side, could you try this one:

diff --git a/drivers/md/dm-mpath.c b/drivers/md/dm-mpath.c
index 5e0090e..e6fad46 100644
--- a/drivers/md/dm-mpath.c

st *clone,
         map_context->ptr = mpio;
         clone->cmd_flags |= REQ_FAILFAST_TRANSPORT;
         r = map_io(m, clone, mpio, 0);
-       if (r < 0 || r == DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE)

                 mempool_free(mpio, m->mpio_pool);

         return r;
  }
