I don't think that this is safe. It's possible that the multipath device
has paths in the INIT_REMOVED or INIT_PARTIAL state. These will get
silently removed from the pathvec if we remove the map here. This will
mess up our iteration through the pathvec in update_paths(). Perhaps a
better idea would be to set mpp->sync_ticks to 0 if
update_multipath_strings() fails in do_sync_mpp(). This would force a
refresh by sync_mpp() at the start of the next loop in checkerloop(),
where it can safely remove the multipath device.
