Sidhartha Kumar e1b8b883bb maple_tree: reset mas->index and mas->last on write retries
The following scenario can result in a race condition:

Consider a node with the following indices and values

	a<------->b<----------->c<--------->d
	    0xA        NULL          0xB

	CPU 1			  CPU 2
      ---------        		---------
	mas_set_range(a,b)
	mas_erase()
		-> range is expanded (a,c) because of null expansion

	mas_nomem()
	mas_unlock()
				mas_store_range(b,c,0xC)

The node now looks like:

	a<------->b<----------->c<--------->d
	    0xA        0xC          0xB

	mas_lock()
	mas_erase() <------ range of erase is still (a,c)

The node is now NULL from (a,c) but the write from CPU 2 should have been
retained and range (b,c) should still have 0xC as its value.  We can fix
this by re-intializing to the original index and last.  This does not need
a cc: Stable as there are no users of the maple tree which use internal
locking and this condition is only possible with internal locking.

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.
