By default, failback to the preferred I/O path is done automatically
if it is restored. Some users may want to keep using the backup I/O
path even if the preferred I/O path is restored. In this case,
bdev_nvme_set_preferred_path can be used to do manual failback.
We may be able to clear/fill I/O path cache more strictly but it will
be complicated and have bugs. This patch does the minimal change,
just skips an apparent case.
