Subject: [PATCH 2/2] maple_tree: Fix a potential memory leak, OOB access, or other unpredictable bug

In mas_alloc_nodes(), there is such a piece of code:
while (requested) {
	...
	node->node_count = 0;
	...
}
"node->node_count = 0" means to initialize the node_count field of the
new node, but the node may not be a new node. It may be a node that
existed before and node_count has a value, setting it to 0 will cause a
memory leak. At this time, mas->alloc->total will be greater than the
actual number of nodes in the linked list, which may cause many other
errors. For example, out-of-bounds access in mas_pop_node(), and
mas_pop_node() may return addresses that should not be used.
Fix it by initializing node_count only for new nodes.
