dm mpath: allow table load with no priority groups
This patch adjusts the multipath target to allow a table with both 0
priority groups and 0 for the initial priority group number.
If any mpath device is held open when all paths in the last priority
group have failed, userspace multipathd will attempt to reload the
associated DM table to reflect the fact that the device no longer has
any priority groups. But the reload attempt always failed because the
multipath target did not allow 0 priority groups.
All multipath target messages related to priority group (enable_group,
disable_group, switch_group) will handle a priority group of 0 (will
cause error).
When reloading a multipath table with 0 priority groups, userspace
multipathd must be updated to specify an initial priority group number
of 0 (rather than 1).
