[PATCH v2 00/29] maple_tree: Replace big node with maple copy

["Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@oracle.com>]

The big node struct was created for simplicity of splitting,
rebalancing, and spanning store operations by using a copy buffer to
create the data necessary prior to breaking it up into 256B nodes.
Certain operations were rather tricky due to the restriction of keeping
NULL entries together and never at the end of a node (except the
right-most node).

The big node struct is incompatible with future features that are
currently in development.  Specifically different node types and
different data type sizes for pivots.

The big node struct was also a stack variable, which caused issues with
certain configurations of kernel build.

This series removes big node by introducing another node type which will
never be written to the tree: maple_copy.  The maple copy node operates
more like a scatter/gather operation with a number of sources and
destinations of allocated nodes.

The sources are copied to the destinations, in turn, until the sources
are exhausted.  The destination is changed if it is filled or the split
location is reached prior to the source data end.

New data is inserted by using the maple copy node itself as a source
with up to 3 slots and pivots.  The data in the maple copy node is the
data being written to the tree along with any fragment of the range(s)
being overwritten.

As with all nodes, the maple copy node is of size 256B.  Using a node
type allows for the copy operation to treat the new data stored in the
maple copy node the same as any other source node.

Analysis of the runtime shows no regression or benefit of removing the
larger stack structure.  The motivation is the ground work to use new
node types and to help those with odd configurations that have had
issues.

The change was tested by myself using mm_tests on amd64 and by Suren on
android (arm64).  Limited testing on s390 qemu was also performed using
stress-ng on the virtual memory, which should cover many corner cases.
