An interesting observation for rb_erase() is that when a node has exactly one child, the node must be black and the child must be red. An interesting consequence is that removing such a node can be done by simply replacing it with its child and making the child black, which we can do efficiently in rb_erase(). __rb_erase_color() then only needs to handle the no-childs case and can be modified accordingly.
