rbtree: rb_erase updates and comments

Minor updates to the rb_erase() function:
- Reorder code to put simplest / common case (no more than 1 child) first.
- Fetch the parent first, since it ends up being required in all 3 cases.
- Add a few comments to illustrate case 2 (node to remove has 2 childs,
  but one of them is the successor) and case 3 (node to remove has 2 childs,
  successor is a left-descendant of the right child).
