Ok, I'll change __mt_dup() to mas_dup().

This cannot happen. Note the mas_ascend(mas) at the beginning of the
outermost loop.

I'll handle the root node outside.
However, do you think it makes sense to have the parent of the root node
point to the struct maple_tree? I don't see it used anywhere.

I'll try to reduce some checks.

It's impossible, because in mt_free_bulk(), the first thing to do with
the incoming node is to go up. We free all child nodes at the parent
node.

We guarantee that the node passed to mas_dup_free() is "clean".
mas_dup_free() also follows this so will not free children of this node.

The child nodes of this node cannot be freed in mt_free_bulk() because
the node is not completely constructed and data_end cannot be obtained.
data_end cannot be set on this node because the number of successfully
allocated child nodes can be 0.

I will set it to MAS_NONE in the next version.

I can do this, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Yes, it will hit the root node but not the end of the root node. I'll
fix this comment. Thanks.
