rbtree: empty nodes have no color

rbtree: empty nodes have no color

Empty nodes have no color.  We can make use of this property to simplify
the code emitted by the RB_EMPTY_NODE and RB_CLEAR_NODE macros.  Also, we
can get rid of the rb_init_node function which had been introduced by
88d19cf37952 ("timers: Add rb_init_node() to allow for stack allocated rb
nodes") to avoid some issue with the empty node's color not being
initialized.

I'm not sure what the RB_EMPTY_NODE checks in rb_prev() / rb_next() are
doing there, though.  axboe introduced them in 10fd48f2376d ("rbtree:
fixed reversed RB_EMPTY_NODE and rb_next/prev").  The way I see it, the
'empty node' abstraction is only used by rbtree users to flag nodes that
they haven't inserted in any rbtree, so asking the predecessor or
successor of such nodes doesn't make any sense.

One final rb_init_node() caller was recently added in sysctl code to
implement faster sysctl name lookups.  This code doesn't make use of
RB_EMPTY_NODE at all, and from what I could see it only called
rb_init_node() under the mistaken assumption that such initialization was
required before node insertion.
