Yeah, it does. Did you see the patch that is included in the series?
I've replaced the macro with always inline functions that select the
lock based on the flag:

static __always_inline void mtree_lock(struct maple_tree *mt)
{
        if (mt->ma_flags & MT_FLAGS_LOCK_IRQ)
                spin_lock_irq(&mt->ma_lock);
        else
                spin_lock(&mt->ma_lock);
}
static __always_inline void mtree_unlock(struct maple_tree *mt)
{
        if (mt->ma_flags & MT_FLAGS_LOCK_IRQ)
                spin_unlock_irq(&mt->ma_lock);
        else
                spin_unlock(&mt->ma_lock);
}

Does that work for you?
