If you find a file twice, the second time no new buffer will be opened
but it'll be switched to the existing one.  So there's no need to write
some elisp code here.

,----[ C-h f find-file RET ]
| find-file is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `files.el'.
| 
| It is bound to <open>, C-x C-f, <menu-bar> <file> <new-file>.
| 
| (find-file filename &optional wildcards)
| 
| Edit file filename.
| Switch to a buffer visiting file filename,
| creating one if none already exists.
| Interactively, the default if you just type RET is the current directory,
| but the visited file name is available through the minibuffer history:
| type M-n to pull it into the minibuffer.
| 
| You can visit files on remote machines by specifying something
| like /ssh:SOME_REMOTE_MACHINE:FILE for the file name.  You can
| also visit local files as a different user by specifying
| /sudo::FILE for the file name.
| See the Info node `(tramp)Filename Syntax' in the Tramp Info
| manual, for more about this.
| 
| Interactively, or if wildcards is non-nil in a call from Lisp,
| expand wildcards (if any) and visit multiple files.  You can
| suppress wildcard expansion by setting `find-file-wildcards' to nil.
| 
| To visit a file without any kind of conversion and without
| automatically choosing a major mode, use M-x find-file-literally.
