mas_preallocate() defaults to requesting 1 node for preallocation and then
,depending on the type of store, will update the request variable. There
isn't a check for a slot store type, so slot stores are preallocating the
default 1 node. Slot stores do not require any additional nodes, so add a
check for the slot store case that will bypass node_count_gfp(). Update
the tests to reflect that slot stores do not require allocations.

User visible effects of this bug include increased memory usage from the
unneeded node that was allocated.

This is a modified backport as the patch to fix this in upstream does not
apply to 6.6 because the node_end field was moved from the ma_wr_state to
the ma_state after 6.6.

What is the git commit id of this change in Linus's tree?

The patch is in akpm's mm-hotfixes-unstable tree and has not made it to Linus's tree yet.
