Bug description:
[Impact]
Multiple disks in a system can end up having the same BY_PATH name, making
the corresponding symlinks in /dev/disk/by-path non-unique. This can result in
a user performing an operation on the wrong disk, possibly resulting in data
loss.
[Test Case]
$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 13 12:26
platform-HISI0162:01-sas-exp0x500e004aaaaaaa1f-phy0-lun-0 -> ../../sdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 13 12:26
platform-HISI0162:01-sas-exp0x500e004aaaaaaa1f-phy0-lun-0-part1 -> ../../sdb1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 13 12:26
platform-HISI0162:01-sas-exp0x500e004aaaaaaa1f-phy0-lun-0-part2 -> ../../sdb2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 13 12:26
platform-HISI0162:01-sas-exp0x500e004aaaaaaa1f-phy0-lun-0-part3 -> ../../sdc3
Notice that there is no symlink for /dev/sdc.
[Fix]

[Regression Risk]
This may change the by-path symlinks for disks on the system. While the new
name would be the correct one - users maybe relying on the incorrect version.
This could result in an unbootable system, requiring manual intervention to
repair.
