From: Yunjian Wang <wangyunj...@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().
