Subject: [PATCH] maple_tree: Mark three functions as __maybe_unused

People keep trying to remove three functions that are going to be used
in a feature that is being developed.  Dropping the functions entirely
may end up with people trying to use the bit for other uses, as people
have tried in the past.

Adding __maybe_unused stops compilers complaining about the unused
functions so they can be silently optimised out of the compiled code and
people won't try to claim the bit for another use.
