Bug Description

ESeries filers require appropriate multipath/DMMP configuration on the host running cinder volume process for volume attach and image transfers to work reliably and efficiently, and the cinder.conf option 'use_multipath_for_image_xfer' should be set to True.

Here we will commit a fix to log a warning on driver startup if Eseries backend is being used and 'use_multipath_for_image_xfer' is not set to True.

Is this config option also useful to other NetApp model? If a configuration option is required to be always true, the driver should do it (setting it to be True no matter what) instead of log a warning.
