[DTrace-devel] [PATCH v2] Guard against inserting the same provider twice

From: Eugene Loh <eugene.loh at oracle.com>

Add a safety net to dt_provider_create(), to check if a specified
provider has already been inserted.

This also requires a corresponding change in dt_provider_lookup(), so
that it will work even if no providers have yet been inserted.
