rbtree: fix incorrect rbtree node insertion in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c
The recently added code to use rbtrees in sysctl did not follow the proper rbtree interface on insertion - it was calling rb_link_node() which inserts a new node into the binary tree, but missed the call to rb_insert_color() which properly balances the rbtree and establishes all expected rbtree invariants. I found out about this only because faulty commit also used rb_init_node(), which I am removing within this patchset. But I think it's an easy mistake to make, and it makes me wonder if we should change the rbtree API so that insertions would be done with a single rb_insert() call (even if its implementation could still inline the rb_link_node() part and call a private __rb_insert_color function to do the rebalancing).
