rb_tree: make clear distinction between two different cases in rb_erase()
There are two cases when a node, having 2 childs, is erased:
'normal case': the successor is not the right-hand-child of the node to be erased
'special case': the successor is the right-hand child of the node to be erased
Here some ascii-art, with following symbols (referring to the code):
O: node to be deleted
N: the successor of O
P: parent of N
C: child of N
L: some other node
normal case:
O N
/ \ / \
/ \ / \
L \ L \
/ \ P ----> / \ P
/ \ / \
/ /
N C
\ / \
\
C
/ \
special case:
O|P N
/ \ / \
/ \ / \
L \ L \
/ \ N ----> / C
\ / \
\
C
/ \
Notice that for the special case we don't have to reconnect C to N.
