This patch also fixes a bug in mas_rev_awalk().  Effectively, always
setting a maximum makes mas_logical_pivot() behave as mas_safe_pivot().
Without this fix, it is possible that very small tasks would fail to
find the correct gap.  Although this has not been observed with real
tasks, it has been reported to happen in m68k nommu running the maple
tree tests.
