Only rdac arrays support 0xC9 vpd page inquiries. All other arrays will
return a failure. Only do the rdac inquiry when detecting array
capabilities if the array's path checker is explicitly set to rdac, or
the path checker is not set, and the array reports that it supports vpd
page 0xC9 in the Supported VPD Pages (0x00) vpd page.
Multipath was doing the check if either the path checker was set to
rdac, or no path checker was set. This means that for almost all
non-rdac arrays, multipath was issuing a bad inquiry. This was annoying
users.
