When running the Rust maple tree kunit tests with lockdep, you may trigger
a warning that looks like this:

lib/maple_tree.c:780 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
no locks held by kunit_try_catch/344.

This is because the destructor of maple tree calls mas_find() without
taking rcu_read_lock() or the spinlock.  Doing that is actually ok in this
case since the destructor has exclusive access to the entire maple tree,
but it triggers a lockdep warning.  To fix that, take the rcu read lock.

In the future, it's possible that memory reclaim could gain a feature
where it reallocates entries in maple trees even if no user-code is
touching it.  If that feature is added, then this use of rcu read lock
would become load-bearing, so I did not make it conditional on lockdep.

We have to repeatedly take and release rcu because the destructor of T
might perform operations that sleep.
