Fair, it is either or, but shouldn't maple_metadata->end be aligned with
MAPLE_NODE_MASK?

This condition is not present in mas_dead_leaves() where we potentially
iterate over all 16 slots, simply checking that we have a "valid" node pointer
with:

entry & ~MAPLE_NODE_MASK != 0

This doesn't work on big endian without the fix.
