rbtree: low level optimizations in rb_erase()
Various minor optimizations in rb_erase():
- Avoid multiple loading of node->__rb_parent_color when computing parent
and color information (possibly not in close sequence, as there might
be further branches in the algorithm)
- In the 1-child subcase of case 1, copy the __rb_parent_color field from
the erased node to the child instead of recomputing it from the desired
parent and color
- When searching for the erased node's successor, differentiate between
cases 2 and 3 based on whether any left links were followed. This avoids
a condition later down.
- In case 3, keep a pointer to the erased node's right child so we don't
have to refetch it later to adjust its parent.
- In the no-childs subcase of cases 2 and 3, place the rebalance assigment
last so that the compiler can remove the following if(rebalance) test.
Also, added some comments to illustrate cases 2 and 3.
