Mike Rapoport contacted me off-list with a regression in running criu. 
Periodic tests fail with an RCU stall during execution.  Although rare, it
is possible to hit this with other uses so this patch should be backported
to fix the regression.

This patchset adds the fix and a test case to the maple tree test
suite.


This patch (of 2):

An insufficient node was causing an out-of-bounds access on the node in
mas_leaf_max_gap().  The cause was the faulty detection of the new node
being a root node when overwriting many entries at the end of the tree.

Fix the detection of a new root and ensure there is sufficient data prior
to entering the spanning rebalance loop.

Pull more mm updates from Andrew Morton:

 - A few late-breaking minor fixups

 - Two minor feature patches which were awkwardly dependent on mm-nonmm.
   I need to set up a new branch to handle such things.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.

  The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
  container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
  passed into it.

  The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
  in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
  specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
  "const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
  series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
  used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
  from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
  kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
  the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
  either.

  The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
  developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
  objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
  core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
  paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
  marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.

  So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
  to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
  rules.

  All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
  with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
  we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
  subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.

  Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:

   - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better

   - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates

   - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates

   - device property updates

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with
  no problems"
