[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] eal: fix create user mem map repeatedly when it exists

[wangyunjian <wangyunjian@huawei.com>]

From: Yunjian Wang <wangyunjian@huawei.com>

Currently, a issue that a container has many devices and the
application will map the same memory many times. The kernel
driver returns EEXIST as long as there are overlapping memory
areas. As a result, we repeatedly create new user mem map entry
for the same memory segment and this will lead to no more space
for other user mem maps.

To resolve the issue, add support to remove the same entry in
the function compact_user_maps().

Fixes: 0cbce3a167f1 ("vfio: skip DMA map failure if already mapped")
