[PATCH v3 01/30] maple_tree: Fix mas_dup_alloc() sparse warning

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

Use RCU_INIT_POINTER to initialize an rcu pointer to an initial value
since there are no readers within the tree being created during
duplication.  There is no risk of readers seeing the initialized or
uninitialized value until after the synchronization call in
mas_dup_buld().
