mas_commit_b_node() can also return the ints from mas_split() and
mas_rebalance().  I'm fine with changing the return, but it seems odd to
only half-change it?

Initially I had a different intention for the return type of int, but it
seems the return isn't used at all from this function.  We should
just change mas_commit_b_node(), mas_split(), and mas_rebalance() to
return type void if we're going to clean it up.
