dm mpath: remove unnecessary NVMe branching in favor of scsi_dh checks



This eliminates the "queue_mode" configuration's "nvme" mode.  There
wasn't anything NVMe-specific about that mode.  It was named "nvme"
because it was a short name for the mode.  But the entire point of the
mode was to optimize the multipath target for underlying devices that
are _not_ SCSI-based.  Devices that aren't SCSI have no need for the
various SCSI device handler (scsi_dh) specific code in DM multipath.

But rather than narrowly define this scsi_dh vs not branching in terms
of "nvme": invert the logic so that we're just checking whether a
multipath device is layered on SCSI devices with scsi_dh attached.

This allows any future storage technology to avoid scsi_dh specific code
in the multipath target too.
