Wei Yang 5059aa6334 maple_tree: memset maple_big_node as a whole
In mast_fill_bnode(), we first clear some fields of maple_big_node and set
the 'type' unconditionally before return.  This means we won't leverage
any information in maple_big_node and it is safe to clear the whole
structure.

In maple_big_node, we define slot and padding/gap in a union.  And based
on current definition of MAPLE_BIG_NODE_SLOTS/GAPS, padding is always less
than slot and part of the gap is overlapped by slot.

For example on 64bit system:

  MAPLE_BIG_NODE_SLOT is 34
  MAPLE_BIG_NODE_GAP  is 21

With this knowledge, current code may clear some space by twice. And
this could be avoid by clearing the structure as a whole.

README

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 reStructuredText 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.
