On destroy, we should set each node dead. But current code miss this
when the maple tree has only the root node.

The reason is mt_destroy_walk() leverage mte_destroy_descend() to set
node dead, but this is skipped since the only root node is a leaf.

Fixes this by setting the node dead if it is a leaf.

FWIW I have been reading the maple tree code and this looks good to me.
