[PATCH v2 80/80] libmultipath: select_action(): don't drop map if alias clashes

[mwilck@suse.com]

From: Martin Wilck <mwilck@suse.com>

If for a given map, if we find that the requested alias is already
used by a map with different WWID, while the map's own WWID is
not used yet, give up the alias and use the WWID instead. This
is safer than trying to destroy the existing map, which is likely
to fail.

This allows us to make use const for the "curmp" parameter.
