In order to determine the store type for a maple tree operation, a walk of the tree is done through mas_wr_walk(). This function descends the tree until a spanning write is detected or we reach a leaf node. While descending, keep track of the height at which we encounter a node with available space. This is done by checking if mas->end is less than the number of slots a given node type can fit. Now that the height of the vacant node is tracked, we can use the difference between the height of the tree and the height of the vacant node to know how many levels we will have to propagate creating new nodes. Update mas_prealloc_calc() to consider the vacant height and reduce the number of worst-case allocations. Rebalancing and spanning stores are not supported and fall back to using the full height of the tree for allocations. Update preallocation testing assertions to take into account vacant height.

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.
