When updating the maple tree iterator to avoid rewalks, an issue was
introduced when shifting beyond the limits. This can be seen by trying to
go to the previous address of 0, which would set the maple node to
MAS_NONE and keep the range as the last entry.
Subsequent calls to mas_find() would then search upwards from mas->last
and skip the value at mas->index/mas->last. This showed up as a bug in
mprotect which skips the actual VMA at the current range after attempting
to go to the previous VMA from 0.
Since MAS_NONE may already be set when searching for a value that isn't
contained within a node, changing the handling of MAS_NONE in mas_find()
would make the code more complicated and error prone. Furthermore, there
was no way to tell which limit was hit, and thus which action to take
(next or the entry at the current range).
This solution is to add two states to track what happened with the
previous iterator action. This allows for the expected behaviour of the
next command to return the correct item (either the item at the range
requested, or the next/previous).
Tests are also added and updated accordingly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
