can you try
dmsetup info /dev/mapper/36090a0d800851c9d2195d5b837c9e328
and check "Open count" filed to see if there is still anything open?
Also, you can try
fuser /dev/dm-2
to see which process is using the device
[root@ov301 ~]# dmsetup info /dev/mapper/36090a0d800851c9d2195d5b837c9e328

[root@ov301 ~]# ll /dev/dm-2

I'm still unable to remove it:
[root@ov301 ~]# multipath -f 36090a0d800851c9d2195d5b837c9e328
