libfs: Convert simple directory offsets to use a Maple Tree

Willy's analysis is that, over time, the test workload causes
xa_alloc_cyclic() to fragment the underlying SLAB cache.
This patch replaces the offset_ctx's xarray with a Maple Tree in the
hope that Maple Tree's dense node mode will handle this scenario
more scalably.
In addition, we can widen the simple directory offset maximum to
signed long (as loff_t is also signed).
