Andrew,
This patch set does two things: 1. Clean up, including removal of
__vma_adjust() and 2. Extends the VMA iterator API to provide type
safety to the VMA operations using the maple tree, as requested by Linus
[1].
It also addresses another issue of usability brought up by Linus about
needing to modify the maple state within the loops. The maple state has
been replaced by the VMA iterator and the iterator is now modified
within the MM code so the caller should not need to worry about doing
the work themselves when tree modifications occur.
This brought up a potential inconsistency of the iterator state and what
the user expects, so the inconsistency is addressed to keep the VMA
iterator safe for use after the looping over a VMA range. This is
addressed in patch 3 ("maple_tree: Reduce user error potential") and 4
("test_maple_tree: Test modifications while iterating").
While cleaning up the state, the duplicate locking code in mm/mmap.c
introduced by the maple tree has been address by abstracting it to two
functions: vma_prepare() and vma_complete(). These abstractions allowed
for a much simpler __vma_adjust(), which eventually leads to the removal
of the __vma_adjust() function by placing the logic into the vma_merge()
function itself.

Changes since v1:
- Changed the subject to better highlight the removal of __vma_adjust()
- Converted damon test code to use the maple tree functions as apposed
to vma_mas_store(). This added an extra patch to the series
- Wrap debug output in vma_iter_store() with DEBUG_VM_MAPLE_TREE config
option
- Fix comment in mm/rmap.c referencing __vma_adjust()
