In order to support rebalancing and spanning stores using less than the worst case number of nodes, we need to track more than just the vacant height. Using only vacant height to reduce the worst case maple node allocation count can lead to a shortcoming of nodes in the following scenarios. For rebalancing writes, when a leaf node becomes insufficient, it may be combined with a sibling into a single node. This means that the parent node which has entries for this children will lose one entry. If this parent node was just meeting the minimum entries, losing one entry will now cause this parent node to be insufficient. This leads to a cascading operation of rebalancing at different levels and can lead to more node allocations than simply using vacant height can return. For spanning writes, a similar situation occurs. At the location at which a spanning write is detected, the number of ancestor nodes may similarly need to rebalanced into a smaller number of nodes and the same cascading situation could occur. To use less than the full height of the tree for the number of allocations, we also need to track the height at which a non-leaf node cannot become insufficient. This means even if a rebalance occurs to a child of this node, it currently has enough entries that it can lose one without any further action. This field is stored in the maple write state as sufficient height. In mas_prealloc_calc() when figuring out how many nodes to allocate, we check if the vacant node is lower in the tree than a sufficient node (has a larger value). If it is, we cannot use the vacant height and must use the difference in the height and sufficient height as the basis for the number of nodes needed. An off by one bug was also discovered in mast_overflow() where it is using >= rather than >. This caused extra iterations of the mas_spanning_rebalance() loop and lead to unneeded allocations. A test is also added to check the number of allocations is correct.
