Subject: [ 194/221] libceph: dont use rb_init_node() in ceph_osdc_alloc_request()

3.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alex Elder <elder@...tank.com>

(cherry picked from commit a978fa20fb657548561dddbfb605fe43654f0825)

The red-black node in the ceph osd request structure is initialized
in ceph_osdc_alloc_request() using rbd_init_node().  We do need to
initialize this, because in __unregister_request() we call
RB_EMPTY_NODE(), which expects the node it's checking to have
been initialized.  But rb_init_node() is apparently overkill, and
may in fact be on its way out.  So use RB_CLEAR_NODE() instead.

For a little more background, see this commit:
    4c199a93 rbtree: empty nodes have no color"
