Description of problem:

behavior is not consistent after using user_friendly_names = no as multipath doesn't rename device back to its original name

flow: 

# use user_friendly_names = no
- login to iscsi target
- run multipath -r 
- device appear with their original name

# use user_friendly_names = yes, configure some aliases
- run multipath -r 
- device appear with their alias name

# edit /etc/multipath.conf again, and change use user_friendly_names = no
- run multipath -r 
- device appear with their alias name

the rename should work backwards
