maple_tree: document erase and allocations better
During a discussion on the maple tree erase process and GFP flags, Jason
suggested there be an amendment to the documentation to clarify the
situation on allocations within the tree.
The added text is an attempt to better explain that the tree may allocate,
even when erasing, and provide some guidance on how to work around such
issues.
