So what you are saying is that you are expanding one entry to consume
portions of the previous and next into a new entry. We know this is the
case because the end of the node is not moving and we are modifying more
than one slot (so it must be 2 slots)
This scenario is not tested in the testing framework. We should add
testing before we can add this.

I find this comment misleading. You actually touch both boundaries for
the entry in this case (start and end). We are just increasing the
space in both directions. You are also not overwriting two of the three
entries or ranges, you are expanding one entry in two directions, so
both the previous and next ranges will shrink but they will remain. It's
more of a "modify three ranges but don't change the outside limits." The
similar statement in the commit message should also be changed.
Right now, I don't see this code executed by the test program.
Inserting a BUG_ON() here and it will not be hit.

We are hitting this else in check_locky at maple.c:35780 only, I think.
You've identified a lack of testing here by the looks of it.
The VMA code does not do this today, and I don't know of any other users
which expand/contract entries like this. Do you think this will be
common enough for the optimisation vs a node store?
