Could you post your multipath.conf configuration? We had the same issue
with multipath devices being stuck/not removed which also blocked our
ability to do live migrations. See

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  iSCSI volume detach does not correctly remove the multipath device
  descriptors.

  The multipath devices are left on the compute node and multipath tools
  will occaisionally send IOs to known multipath devices.

  [Test Case]

  tested environment:
  nova-compute on Ubuntu 14.04.1, iscsi_use_multipath=True and iSCSI volume backend is EMC VNX 5300.

   I created 3 cinder volumes and attached them to a nova instance. Then I detach them one by one. First 2 volumes volumes detached successfully.  3rd volume also successfully detached but ended up with  failed multipaths.
  Here is the terminal log for last volume detach.

  iscsiadm: No active sessions.

  Then I manually removed the multipaths,
  openstack at W1CN103:/etc/iscsi$ sudo multipath -f 360060160cf0036002d1475f6e73fe411
  openstack at W1CN103:/etc/iscsi$ sudo multipath -l
  openstack at W1CN103:/etc/iscsi$

   I think the problem is in,
  virt/libvirt/volume.py:LibvirtISCSIVolumeDriver
   def _disconnect_volume_multipath_iscsi(self, iscsi_properties, multipath_device):

  End of this method executes following code to call remove_multipath_device_descriptor for remove the multipaths by multipath -f before return.
          self._remove_multipath_device_descriptor(multipath_device)
          return
  Therefore, first two volumes worked fine. However, when it comes to the last device (in this case 3rd one),  this method return without calling _remove_multipath_device_descriptor due to following if statement.

          if not in_use:
              # disconnect if no other multipath devices with same iqn
              self._disconnect_mpath(iscsi_properties, ips_iqns)
              return
  It just disconnect them but not remove them.
  One of the reasons why we have to remove them is,
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1223975

  IMO, we should call _remove_multipath_device_descriptor in above if
  statement before return.

  [Regression Potential]

  - Low: the change is relatively minor and allows the code to also
  remove the device when the last path is removed. Should a regression
  occur, it should be limited to iscsi-multipath device detachment,
  which is a small portion of installations.
