> In mas_alloc_nodes(), "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.
