Subject: [PATCH] nvme-cli: Revert stop-on-failure with connect-all

The patch that added special treatment for EALREADY connect failures
also changed the behavior on what happens if a discovery log contains
an entry that is not connectable by the system or host port. If it
encounters a log entry that can't be connected to, it will not attempt
to connect to any log entries beyond it. This can leave lots of devices
unconnected to.

Revert the stop-on-failure introduced by the previous patch.

Specifically, this failed for me on an FC array that had a discovery log
entry for a port that was not visible via zoning for the initiator
port being used.
