Subject: [PATCH 1/5] rtth: fix Segmentation fault

rtth radix_tree source was updated but never tested after the update??
Currently gives Segmentation fault after big_gang_check() because we
forget to remove the low bitflag from the node address in rnode:
for which we need indirect_to_ptr() not radix_tree_deref_slot().
