mtree_range_walk() needed to be updated to avoid checking if there was a pivot value. On closer examination, the code could avoid setting min or max in certain scenarios. The commit removes the extra check for pivot[offset] before setting max and only sets max when necessary. It also only sets min if it is necessary by checking offset 0 prior to the loop (as it has always done). The commit also drops a dead node check since the end of the node will return the array size when the last slot is occupied (by a potential reuse in a dead node). The data will be discarded later if the node is marked dead. Benchmarking these changes results in an increase in performance of 5.45% using the BENCH_WALK in the maple tree test code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
