[PATCH v2 1/8] multipath-tools: delete obsolete information from multipath.conf.5

Xose Vazquez Perez <[email protected]>
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.dm-devel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
repeat_count (rr_min_io, rr_min_io_rq, rr_weight) has been unsupported
since kernel 4.6 ( commits 90a4323ccfea and  21136f89d76d ).

And also clean up other deprecated entries.
