Description
### Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?
- [X] I have read the [Contributing Guidelines on issues](https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#reporting-new-issues).
### Prerequisites
- [X] I'm using the latest version of Docusaurus.
- [X] I have tried the `npm run clear` or `yarn clear` command.
- [X] I have tried `rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.json` and re-installing packages.
- [X] I have tried creating a repro with https://new.docusaurus.io.
- [X] I have read the console error message carefully (if applicable).
### Description
If I add the docs plugin to the list of plugins (multi-instance) and I point it to the same folder that the preset is already pointing to (`docs` by default), the build process stops working and I see the following errors:
```
SyntaxError: /code/src/......../index.mdx: Identifier 'React' has already been declared. (46:184)
```
I believe the bug might be caused by the way each mdx file is being processed. Because a mdx file is (basically) a JSX file, `import React from 'react';` is being prepended at the top of each file. But since I have two instances of the docs plugin pointing to the same folder, the `import` statement is being prepended twice (hence the error).
I made a minimal repro codesandbox.
### Reproducible demo
https://codesandbox.io/s/trusting-rosalind-sc4s15
### Steps to reproduce
1. Open the link
2. Open a new tty and type `npm run build`
3. The build will fail.
4. Comment the `plugins` section of the `docusaurus.config.js`
5. Run `npm run build` again.
6. The build will succeed.
### Expected behavior
I should be able to point multiple instances of the docs plugin to the same folder.
### Actual behavior
The build crashes.
