Calculate the number of nodes based on the pending write action instead

Liam already gave me a heads-up on this patch, which I already replied to [1].

However, I think it might make sense to also reply to this patch directly.

For a mas_preallocate() calculating the actual required nodes to be allocated instead of assuming the worst to work, it is required to ensure that the tree does not change between calling mas_preallocate() and mas_store_prealloc() if my understanding is correct.

In DRM however, more specifically the DRM GPUVA Manager [2], we do have the case that we are not able to ensure this:

Jobs to create GPU mappings can be submitted by userspace, are queued up by the kernel and are processed asynchronously in dma-fence signalling critical paths, e.g. by using the drm_gpu_scheduler. Hence, we must be able to allocate the worst case amount of node, since at the time a job is submitted we can't predict the state the maple tree keeping track of mappings has once a mapping is inserted in the (asynchronous) dma-fence signalling critical path.

A more detailed explanation can be found in [1].

Could we keep a separate function for allocating the worst case amount of nodes additionally to this optimization? E.g. something like mas_preallocate_worst_case() or mas_preallocate_unlocked() (since I guess the new one requires the maple tree to be kept locked in order not to change)?

This addresses a performance regression introduced in platforms that
have longer allocation timing.
