Subject: [PATCH] maple_tree: add mas_node_count() before going to slow_path in mas_wr_modify()

From: Jung-JaeJoon <rgbi3307@...il.com>

If there are not enough nodes, mas_node_count() set an error state via mas_set_err()
and return control flow to the beginning.

In the return flow, mas_nomem() checks the error status, allocates new nodes,
and resumes execution again.

In particular,
if this happens in mas_split() in the slow_path section executed in mas_wr_modify(),
unnecessary work is repeated, causing a slowdown in speed as below flow:

_begin:
mas_wr_modify() --> if (new_end >= mt_slots[wr_mas->type]) --> goto slow_path
slow_path:
    --> mas_wr_bnode() --> mas_store_b_node() --> mas_commit_b_node() --> mas_split()
    --> mas_node_count() return to _begin

But, in the above flow, if mas_node_count() is executed before entering slow_path,
execution efficiency is improved by allocating nodes without entering slow_path repeatedly.
