When inserting a rbnode and we find a matching node in the tree, but that node is already dead, we will replace that node in that tree with a new one. This means the newly inserted node should have the same parent of the current node we are about to replace. Before we were incorrectly setting the parent to be the node that was being replaced. If the node being replaced was the first node in the tree then at nf_conncount_destroy() time we would erase the first node with the incorrect parent pointer. Since the parent pointer was incorrect, the root would not get updated to point to the next node and instead would remain pointing to the node we just erased. This would then cause nf_conncount_desrtoy() to attempt to rb_erase the same node a second time and crash with the following.
