Subject: [PATCH v4 04/33] maple_tree: remove extra smp_wmb() from mas_dead_leaves()

From: Liam Howlett <Liam.Howlett@...cle.com>

The call to mte_set_dead_node() before the smp_wmb() already calls
smp_wmb() so this is not needed.  This is an optimization for the RCU
mode of the maple tree.

Fixes: 54a611b60590 ("Maple Tree: add new data structure")
