If we already check for that condition, shouldn't we disable
fast_io_fail_tmo in that situation to clarify things?

No. We shouldn't select this path, but that doesn't mean that all other
paths in this list can't be selected, either; they might be coming from
different controllers.
Please use 'continue' here.
