[Resend][PATCH 07/17] rbtree: adjust root color in rb_insert_color() only when necessary

[Praveen Kumar <kpraveen.lkml@gmail.com>]

The root node of an rbtree must always be black.  However,
rb_insert_color() only needs to maintain this invariant when it has been
broken - that is, when it exits the loop due to the current (red) node
being the root.  In all other cases (exiting after tree rotations, or
exiting due to an existing black parent) the invariant is already
satisfied, so there is no need to adjust the root node color.

commit 6d58452dc066db61acdff7b84671db1b11a3de1c from linux tree
