mm: enable maple tree RCU mode by default
Use the maple tree in RCU mode for VMA tracking.
The maple tree tracks the stack and is able to update the pivot
(lower/upper boundary) in-place to allow the page fault handler to write
to the tree while holding just the mmap read lock. This is safe as the
writes to the stack have a guard VMA which ensures there will always be a
NULL in the direction of the growth and thus will only update a pivot.
It is possible, but not recommended, to have VMAs that grow up/down
without guard VMAs. syzbot has constructed a testcase which sets up a VMA
to grow and consume the empty space. Overwriting the entire NULL entry
causes the tree to be altered in a way that is not safe for concurrent
readers; the readers may see a node being rewritten or one that does not
match the maple state they are using.
Enabling RCU mode allows the concurrent readers to see a stable node and
will return the expected result.
