[PATCH] maple_tree: Avoid checking other gaps after getting the largest gap

This should only be triggered for right-most nodes and root though,
correct (mas->max  == ULONG_MAX from just before this)?

I wonder if it's worth special case checking the first gap if the node
min is 0 as well.  Might be worth looking at, but this patch is
certainly worth doing.
