According to the SCSI-3 Persistent Reservations specification, when a
self-preemption is performed with a key that does not currently hold
an active reservation, the operation should be treated as an unregister
and should not fail.

The current code in do_mpath_persistent_reserve_out() does not check
whether the preempting key has a reservation before invoking the
self-preemption path. It unconditionally calls preempt_self() and
re-registers the key on the local paths, even when the key has no
reservation. This violates the SCSI-3 PR spec and can lead to
incorrect reservation states.

This patch moves the self-preemption check inside the conditional
block so that it only executes when the key matches, but does not
bypass the general preemption path for keys without a reservation.
With this change, the code will fall through to the common PR_OUT
handling (e.g., MPATH_PROUT_RES_SA or CLEAR_SA) when the key is not
reserved, allowing the storage target to properly process the
operation as an unregister.
