drivers/firmware/memmap.c: don't create memmap sysfs of same firmware_map_entry

Browse source 
By the following commits, we prevented from allocating firmware_map_entry
of same memory range:
  f0093ede: drivers/firmware/memmap.c: don't allocate firmware_map_entry
            of same memory range
  49c8b24d: drivers/firmware/memmap.c: pass the correct argument to
            firmware_map_find_entry_bootmem()

But it's not enough. When PNP0C80 device is added by acpi_scan_init(),
memmap sysfses of same firmware_map_entry are created twice as follows:

  # cat /sys/firmware/memmap/*/start
  0x40000000000
  0x60000000000
  0x4a837000
  0x4a83a000
  0x4a8b5000
  ...
  0x40000000000
  0x60000000000
  ...

The flows of the issues are as follows:

  1. e820_reserve_resources() allocates firmware_map_entrys of all
     memory ranges defined in e820. And, these firmware_map_entrys
     are linked with map_entries list.

     map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N

  2. When PNP0C80 device is limited by mem= boot option, acpi_scan_init()
     added the memory device. In this case, firmware_map_add_hotplug()
     allocates firmware_map_entry and creates memmap sysfs.

     map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N -> entry N+1
                                                 |
                                                 memmap 1

  3. firmware_memmap_init() creates memmap sysfses of firmware_map_entrys
     linked with map_entries.

     map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N -> entry N+1
                     |                 |             |
                     memmap 2          memmap N+1    memmap 1
                                                     memmap N+2

So while hot removing the PNP0C80 device, kernel panic occurs as follows:

     BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000001003e000b

The patch adds a check of confirming whether memmap sysfs of
firmware_map_entry has been created, and does not create memmap
sysfs of same firmware_map_entry.
