[PATCH 11/18] maple_tree: Add bulk parent set helper

From: Liam R. Howlett (Oracle)

Date: Mon Jun 29 2026 - 10:45:11 EST


Instead of calculating the parent pointer each time for a child,
cache the majority of the parent pointer and only change the slot per
child.

Testing on a tree containing 2048 entries of height 4 had an increased
gain of 3.51% on nodes tracking gaps.
