Basically ACK, but see below.
I'd recommend to add a comment that ev_add_map() expects the map to be
set up already, and that callers need to take care of that.

This is unrelated to your patch, but add_map_without_path() calls
setup_map() and domap() without checking whether that's necessary.
That seems to be an odd thing to do when an uevent for existing map is
received. We should be adjusting multipathd's internal data structures
with the data from the kernel, not vice versa.
While working on this, we may want to fix that, too.

While you're at it, please fix this log message ("uev_add_map").
