Wei Yang 82aa8d362a maple_tree: simplify split calculation
commit 4f6a6bed0bfef4b966f076f33eb4f5547226056a upstream.

Patch series "simplify split calculation", v3.


This patch (of 3):

The current calculation for splitting nodes tries to enforce a minimum
span on the leaf nodes.  This code is complex and never worked correctly
to begin with, due to the min value being passed as 0 for all leaves.

The calculation should just split the data as equally as possible
between the new nodes.  Note that b_end will be one more than the data,
so the left side is still favoured in the calculation.

The current code may also lead to a deficient node by not leaving enough
data for the right side of the split. This issue is also addressed with
the split calculation change.
