maple_tree: clarify comments on mas_nomem()

Browse source

When an allocation completely fails, the return is false.  If the
allocation succeeds or partially succeeds, return true to indicate a retry
of the operation.  Note that since the lock may have been dropped, the
operation is retried from the start - including potentially allocating
more memory.
