This should probably be done explicitly, even though it's currently a
no-op, in case the implementation of RB_ROOT changes in the future.

Maybe add a comment like this above these two lines? "Ruleset locks
are ordered by time of ruleset creation; dst is newer than src."

Also, maybe s/1/SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING/.

Maybe add: "Once the ruleset is installed on a process, this tree is
