When limiting memory by mem= and ACPI DSDT table has PNP0C80,
firmware_map_entrys of same memory range are allocated and memmap X
sysfses which have same memory range are created as follows:
# cat /sys/firmware/memmap/0/*
0x407ffffffff
0x40000000000
System RAM
# cat /sys/firmware/memmap/33/*
0x407ffffffff
0x40000000000
System RAM
# cat /sys/firmware/memmap/35/*
0x407ffffffff
0x40000000000
System RAM
In this case, when hot-removing memory, kernel panic occurs, showing
following call trace:

The problem occurs as follows:
When calling e820_reserve_resources(), firmware_map_entrys of all e820
memory map are allocated. And all firmware_map_entrys is added
map_entries list as follows:
map_entries
-> +--- entry A --------+ -> ...
| start 0x407ffffffff|
| end 0x40000000000|
| type System RAM |
+--------------------+
After that, if ACPI DSDT table has PNP0C80 and the memory range is
limited by mem=, the PNP0C80 is hot-added. Then firmware_map_entry of
PNP0C80 is allocated and added map_entries list as follows:
map_entries
-> +--- entry A --------+ -> ... -> +--- entry B --------+
| start 0x407ffffffff| | start 0x407ffffffff|
| end 0x40000000000| | end 0x40000000000|
| type System RAM | | type System RAM |
+--------------------+ +--------------------+
Then memmap 0 sysfs for entry B is created.
After that, firmware_memmap_init() creates memmap sysfses of all
firmware_map_entrys in map_entries list. As a result, memmap 33 sysfs
for entry A and memmap 35 sysfs for entry B are created. But kobject of
entry B has been used by memmap 0 sysfs. So when creating memmap 35
sysfs, the kobject is broken.
If hot-removing memory, memmap 0 sysfs is destroyed and kobject of
memmap 0 sysfs is freed. But the kobject can be accessed via memmap 35
sysfs. So when open memmap 35 sysfs, kernel panic occurs.
This patch checks whether there is firmware_map_entry of same memory
range in map_entries list and don't allocate firmware_map_entry of same
memroy range.
