[PATCH 13/33] libmultipath: use existing alias from bindings file

[Martin Wilck <mwilck@suse.com>]

From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de>

If the bindings file has been edited by hand not all entries conform
to the user_friendly_prefix setting. So if we don't find a matching
alias we need to check if the wwid is set to a different alias; if
so we need to use that.
Otherwise we'll end up with duplicate entries in the bindings file.
