A patch to fix /etc/init.d/boot.multipath

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; hu-HU; rv:1.9.1.3)
Gecko/20090909 SUSE/3.5.3-3.2 Firefox/3.5.3

/sbin/multipath -F can even remove the primary partitions from multipath
volumes, but partitions inside of extended partitions and thus the extended
partitions themselves and thus the multipath volumes themselves won't be
removed. It means that /etc/init.d/boot.multipath does not work. This might be
caused by the order in which multipath tries to remove the devices (i.e.
extended partitions before the inner partitions in them).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy a system with multipath volumes containing extanded partitions and
partitions inside extended ones.
2. Enable the boot.multipath and multipathd services
3. Restart the machine
4. Shut down the system or issue /etc/init.d/boot.multipath stop
Actual Results:  
carrier5:/etc/init.d # /etc/init.d/boot.multipath stop

Nov 02 12:33:31 | mpaths: map in use
Nov 02 12:33:31 | mpathf: map in use

Expected Results:  
All the multipath volumes shold be ramoved properly.

This patch is a "forward-port" from older openSUSE releases, and seems to work
perfectly on openSUSE 11.2 for me.
