rbtree: optimize fetching of sibling node

When looking to fetch a node's sibling, we went through a sequence of:
- check if node is the parent's left child
- if it is, then fetch the parent's right child

This can be replaced with:
- fetch the parent's right child as an assumed sibling
- check that node is NOT the fetched child

This avoids fetching the parent's left child when node is actually
that child. Saves a bit on code size, though it doesn't seem to make
a large difference in speed.
