maple_tree: memset maple_big_node as a whole
In mast_fill_bnode(), we first clear some fields of maple_big_node and set the 'type' unconditionally before return. This means we won't leverage any information in maple_big_node and it is safe to clear the whole structure. In maple_big_node, we define slot and padding/gap in a union. And based on current definition of MAPLE_BIG_NODE_SLOTS/GAPS, padding is always less than slot and part of the gap is overlapped by slot. For example on 64bit system: MAPLE_BIG_NODE_SLOT is 34 MAPLE_BIG_NODE_GAP is 21 With this knowledge, current code may clear some space by twice. And this could be avoid by clearing the structure as a whole.
