During the development of the maple tree, the strategy of freeing multiple
nodes changed and, in the process, the pivots were reused to store
pointers to dead nodes. To ensure the readers see accurate pivots, the
writers need to mark the nodes as dead and call smp_wmb() to ensure any
readers can identify the node as dead before using the pivot values.
There were two places where the old method of marking the node as dead
without smp_wmb() were being used, which resulted in RCU readers seeing
the wrong pivot value before seeing the node was dead. Fix this race
condition by using mte_set_node_dead() which has the smp_wmb() call to
ensure the race is closed.
Add a WARN_ON() to the ma_free_rcu() call to ensure all nodes being freed
are marked as dead to ensure there are no other call paths besides the two
updated paths.
This is necessary for the RCU mode of the maple tree.
