      Description of problem:

      1. OCP Cluster deployment on Power - CoreOS nodes fail to boot with multipath enabled at install time . 
      Kernel parameters for enabling multipath : 
      rhcos_pre_kernel_options   = ["rd.multipath=default","root=/dev/disk/by-label/dm-mpath-root"]

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

          

      How reproducible:

      We could reproduce this issue with 4.14.20 and 4.16.0-ec.5 builds on IBM Power platform with 'Storage Connectivity Group' set to "vSCSI". Issue is not reproducing with "NPIV" storage.

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1.Follwed the RH doc for deploying an OCP cluster with multipath enabled as day1(at install time) Kernel parameters for enabling multipath : 
      rhcos_pre_kernel_options   = ["rd.multipath=default","root=/dev/disk/by-label/dm-mpath-root"]      
      
      2. deployment failed with node boot issue.

      Actual results:

        Deployment failed - coreos node is failing to boot. Error logs are attached.  

      Expected results:

      Cluster should deploy successfully with multipath enabled as day1.

      Additional info:

      This looks like regression issue. 
      Multipath enablement was functioning properly with earlier builds 4.14 and 4.15 versions. 
      
      We could reproduce this issue with 4.14.20 and 4.16.0-ec.5 builds on IBM Power platform with 'Storage Connectivity Group' set to "vSCSI". Issue is not reproducing with "NPIV" storage.
