This is indeed an issue.  There isn't any user-visible impact for
current node types, since the overflow will access the slots and be
corrected in the next if clause, but it's certainly better to fix this.

The commit message is also not as descriptive as necessary, perhaps
something like:

Check the write offset end bounds before using it as the offset into the
pivot array.  This avoids a possible out-of-bounds access on the pivot
array if the write extends to the last slot in the node, in which case
the node maximum should be used as the end pivot.
