I'm not entirely sure if it is related, as stuff in the guts of mm like
this is beyond me, but I've been seeing similar warnings on RISC-V. This
is the only hit on lore for "lib/maple_tree.c:{860,816} suspicious
rcu_dereference_check() usage!", so I figured it might be. Apologies if
not!

I can't speak for Oliver & LKP, but that change didn't fix it for me,
although my issue could be different of course.
