The device-mapper features "queue_if_no_path" and
"retain_attached_hw_handler" should be set via the configuration
keywords "no_path_retry" and "retain_attached_hw_handler",
respectively, not via "features".
Print a warning if these "features" settings are encountered.
So far these "features" settings will only be ignored if the
respective other keyword is set, so in particular
'features "1 queue_if_no_path"' will still work as expected, but
cause the warning to be printed.
We should consider ignoring these completely in a future version.
