From: Martin Wilck <mwilck@xxxxxxxx>
If for some reason (e.g. user configuration error) the same alias
is used for different WWIDs, multipathd starts behaving very weirdly.
Sooner or later it "fixes" pp->wwid of some paths to match those of
the other WWID, and may eventually coalesce paths with different WWIDs
into one map, causing data corruption.
Fix this by refusing to add a map with an already existing alias.
