Subject: Reattach device handler for multipath devices
References: bnc#435688
Patch-mainline: not yet

The multipath daemon might have specified a different device_handler
than the one a device is attached to by default.
So we should try to re-attach with the user-specified device_handler
and only return an error if that fails.
And we should _not_ detach existing hardware handlers. This will
set the path to failed during failover.
