[PATCH v4 3/4] maple_tree: optimize mas_wr_append(), also improve duplicating VMAs

[Peng Zhang]

When the new range can be completely covered by the original last range
without touching the boundaries on both sides, two new entries can be
appended to the end as a fast path. We update the original last pivot at
the end, and the newly appended two entries will not be accessed before
this, so it is also safe in RCU mode.

This is useful for sequential insertion, which is what we do in
dup_mmap(). Enabling BENCH_FORK in test_maple_tree and just running
bench_forking() gives the following time-consuming numbers:

before:               after:
17,874.83 msec        15,738.38 msec

It shows about a 12% performance improvement for duplicating VMAs.
