This is a very confusing way of saying "avoid calling mte_to_node() in
the mte_parent() call by using the ma_dead_node() instead."

In fact, the subject is wrong as well, since the mte_to_node() was
removed from the call path of mte_dead_node(), and not the function
itself.

The code looks right, but the subject and change log are not.  Please
respin the patch, something like this:

maple_tree: Use ma_dead_node() in mte_dead_node()

Using ma_dead_node() in mte_dead_node() avoids decoding the maple enode
for a second time to find the parent.

Feel free to change it as you'd like, but I couldn't follow what you
meant.
