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.
