perf maps: Avoid RC_CHK use after free

Browse source

The case of __maps__fixup_overlap_and_insert where the "new" maps
covers existing mappings can create a use-after-free with reference
count checking enabled. The issue is that "pos" holds a map pointer
from maps_by_address that is put from maps_by_address but then used to
look for a map in maps_by_name (the compared map is now a
use-after-free). The issue stems from using maps__remove which redoes
some of the searches already done by __maps__fixup_overlap_and_insert,
so optimize the code (by avoiding repeated searches) and avoid the
use-after-free by inlining the appropriate removal code.
