rbtree: optimize fetching of sibling node
When looking to fetch a node's sibling, we went through a sequence of: - check if node is the parent's left child - if it is, then fetch the parent's right child This can be replaced with: - fetch the parent's right child as an assumed sibling - check that node is NOT the fetched child This avoids fetching the parent's left child when node is actually that child. Saves a bit on code size, though it doesn't seem to make a large difference in speed.
