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.
