maple_tree: disable mas_wr_append() when other readers are possible

[ Upstream commit cfeb6ae8bcb96ccf674724f223661bbcef7b0d0b ]

The current implementation of append may cause duplicate data and/or
incorrect ranges to be returned to a reader during an update.  Although
this has not been reported or seen, disable the append write operation
while the tree is in rcu mode out of an abundance of caution.

During the analysis of the mas_next_slot() the following was
artificially created by separating the writer and reader code:

Writer:                                 reader:
mas_wr_append
    set end pivot
    updates end metata
    Detects write to last slot
    last slot write is to start of slot
    store current contents in slot
    overwrite old end pivot
                                        mas_next_slot():
                                                read end metadata
                                                read old end pivot
                                                return with incorrect range
    store new value

Alternatively:

Writer:                                 reader:
mas_wr_append
    set end pivot
    updates end metata
    Detects write to last slot
    last lost write to end of slot
    store value
                                        mas_next_slot():
                                                read end metadata
                                                read old end pivot
                                                read new end pivot
                                                return with incorrect range
    set old end pivot

There may be other accesses that are not safe since we are now updating
both metadata and pointers, so disabling append if there could be rcu
readers is the safest action.
