The fast path through a write will require replacing a single node in
the tree.  Using a sheaf (32 nodes) is too heavy for the fast path, so
special case the node store operation by just allocating one node in the
maple state.

Use prefilled sheaves instead of bulk allocations. This should speed up
the allocations and the return path of unused allocations.

Remove the push and pop of nodes from the maple state as this is now
handled by the slab layer with sheaves.

Testing has been removed as necessary since the features of the tree
have been reduced.

<content type='text'>
Bulk insert mode was added to facilitate forking faster, but forking now
uses __mt_dup() to duplicate the tree.

The addition of sheaves has made the bulk allocations difficult to
maintain - since the expected entries would preallocate into the maple
state.  A big part of the maple state node allocation was the ability to
push nodes back onto the state for later use, which was essential to the
bulk insert algorithm.

Remove mas_expected_entries() and mas_destroy_rebalance() functions as
well as the MA_STATE_BULK and MA_STATE_REBALANCE maple state flags since
there are no users anymore.  Drop the associated testing as well.

Patch series "maple_tree: Fix testing for 32bit compiles".

The maple tree test suite supports 32bit builds which causes 32bit nodes
and index/last values.  Some tests have too large values and must be
skipped while others depend on certain actions causing the tree to be
altered in another measurable way (such as the height decreasing or
increasing).

Two tests were added that broke 32bit testing, either by compile warnings
or failures.  These fixes restore the tests to a working order.

Building 32bit version can be done on a 32bit platform, or by using a
command like: BUILD=32 make clean maple


This patch (of 2):

Some tests are invalid on 32bit due to the size of the index and last. 
Making those tests depend on the correct build flags stops compile
complaints.

<id>urn:sha1:271152a973cb01c135d29e91d1a05f51fbd88a9c</id>
<content type='text'>
In order to support rebalancing and spanning stores using less than the
worst case number of nodes, we need to track more than just the vacant
height.  Using only vacant height to reduce the worst case maple node
allocation count can lead to a shortcoming of nodes in the following
scenarios.

For rebalancing writes, when a leaf node becomes insufficient, it may be
combined with a sibling into a single node.  This means that the parent
node which has entries for this children will lose one entry.  If this
parent node was just meeting the minimum entries, losing one entry will
now cause this parent node to be insufficient.  This leads to a cascading
operation of rebalancing at different levels and can lead to more node
allocations than simply using vacant height can return.

For spanning writes, a similar situation occurs.  At the location at which
a spanning write is detected, the number of ancestor nodes may similarly
need to rebalanced into a smaller number of nodes and the same cascading
situation could occur.

To use less than the full height of the tree for the number of
allocations, we also need to track the height at which a non-leaf node
cannot become insufficient.  This means even if a rebalance occurs to a
child of this node, it currently has enough entries that it can lose one
without any further action.  This field is stored in the maple write state
as sufficient height.  In mas_prealloc_calc() when figuring out how many
nodes to allocate, we check if the vacant node is lower in the tree than a
sufficient node (has a larger value).  If it is, we cannot use the vacant
height and must use the difference in the height and sufficient height as
the basis for the number of nodes needed.

An off by one bug was also discovered in mast_overflow() where it is using
&gt;= rather than &gt;.  This caused extra iterations of the
mas_spanning_rebalance() loop and lead to unneeded allocations.  A test is
also added to check the number of allocations is correct.
