> Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Further optimization of function rb_erase() in lib/rbtree.c

Three distinct patches, all with the same title.

Please carefully choose a unique title for each patch in the series.

We push thousands and thousands of patches into Linux and it all gets
complex and confusing.  These little organisational things help us to
manage the volume and the complexity.

You may as well fix the obvious coding-style error while moving the
code.  scripts/checkpatch.pl will detect this one.
