mas_extend_spanning_null() had a clause if the end of the range being written (mas->last) is the same as the end of the existing range it is overwriting (wr_mas->r_max), action will be taken. This code path is not possible because the only calling function increments mas->last (unless it's ULONG_MAX) to walk to one beyond the write and then resets the value back to the initial value. In the case of mas->last == ULONG_MAX, then the second part of the statement will always be false - mas->last cannot be less than the node max. This code never executed and is flawed anyways (the arguments are incorrectly ordered), so removing it is the safest action. Since the code never executes, it is not fixing any issue so Fixes tag is not given. Signed-off-by: Liam R.
