Peng Zhang 23e9dde0b2 maple_tree: optimize mas_wr_append(), also improve duplicating VMAs
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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
