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.
