From: Wei Yang <richardw.yang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib/rbtree: set successor's parent unconditionally Both in Case 2 and 3, we exchange n and s. This mean no matter whether child2 is NULL or not, successor's parent should be assigned to node's. This patch takes this step out to make it explicit and reduce the ambiguity. Besides, this step reduces some symbol size like rb_erase().
