Thanks, that matches my observation from the initial report that we're
returing metadata. I just applied the patch to next-20220516 and i'm no
longer able to trigger the crash. So feel free to add my:

Tested-by: Sven Schnelle <svens@linux.ibm.com>

However, as Heiko already wrote in another mail i would also like to
request that the maple tree code isn't merged with the next merge
window. These patches touch a lot of critical infrastructure, and i would like
to have it in next for at least one development cycle, so we can be sure
that we've seen and fixed most of the issues.

Thanks,
Sven
