Subject: [PATCH] libmultipath: fix use-after-free in uev_add_path

if ev_remove_path() returns success the path has very likely been
deleted. However, if pathinfo() returned something besides PATHINFO_OK,
but ev_remove_path() succeeded, uev_add_path() was still accessing the
the path afterwards, which would likely cause a use-after-free error.
Insted, uev_add_path() should only continue to access the path if
ev_remove_path() didn't succeed.
