The way that the checkers async mode worked in multipathd didn't make
much sense. When multipathd starts up, all checker classes are in the
sync mode, and any pathinfo() calls on devices would run the checker in
sync mode. However, the First time a checker class was used in
checkerloop, it would set that checker class to async (assuming
force_sync wasn't set).  After that, no matter when a checker from that
class was called, it would always run in async mode.  Multipathd doesn't
need to run checkers in sync mode at all, so don't.
