- Fix a DM multipath regression introduced in a v4.16-rc6 commit:
restore support for loading, and attaching, scsi_dh modules during
multipath table load. Otherwise some users may find themselves unable
to boot, as was reported today:

- Fix a DM core ioctl permission check regression introduced in a
v4.16-rc5 commit.
dm: fix dropped return code from dm_get_bdev_for_ioctl
dm_get_bdev_for_ioctl()'s return of 0 or 1 must be the result from
prepare_ioctl (1 means the ioctl was issued to a partition, 0 means it
wasn't). Unfortunately commit 519049afea ("dm: use blkdev_get rather
than bdgrab when issuing pass-through ioctl") reused the variable 'r'
to store the return from blkdev_get() that follows prepare_ioctl()
-- whereby dropping prepare_ioctl()'s result on the floor.
This can lead to an ioctl or persistent reservation being issued to a
partition going unnoticed, which implies the extra permission check for
CAP_SYS_RAWIO is skipped.
Fix this by using a different variable to store blkdev_get()'s return.
