Patch series "VMA tree type safety and remove __vma_adjust()", v4.
This patchset 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been replaced by the VMA iterator and the iterator is now modified within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.

This patch (of 49):
Add a function that will zero out the maple state struct and set some
basic defaults.
