rb_tree: make clear distinction between two different cases in rb_erase()

Browse source 
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.
