maple_tree: add MAS_UNDERFLOW and MAS_OVERFLOW states
When updating the maple tree iterator to avoid rewalks, an issue was introduced when shifting beyond the limits. This can be seen by trying to go to the previous address of 0, which would set the maple node to MAS_NONE and keep the range as the last entry. Subsequent calls to mas_find() would then search upwards from mas->last and skip the value at mas->index/mas->last. This showed up as a bug in mprotect which skips the actual VMA at the current range after attempting to go to the previous VMA from 0. Since MAS_NONE may already be set when searching for a value that isn't contained within a node, changing the handling of MAS_NONE in mas_find() would make the code more complicated and error prone. Furthermore, there was no way to tell which limit was hit, and thus which action to take (next or the entry at the current range). This solution is to add two states to track what happened with the previous iterator action. This allows for the expected behaviour of the next command to return the correct item (either the item at the range requested, or the next/previous). Tests are also added and updated accordingly.
