This has a slight benefit for x86 and has no effect on other targets.
The benefit to x86 is it change the codegen for setting a node to block
from `mov %r0, %r1; or $RB_BLACK, %r1` to `lea RB_BLACK(%r0), %r1` which
saves an instructions.
In all other cases it just replace ALU with ALU (or -> and) which
perform the same on all machines I am aware of.
Total instructions in rbtree.o:
Before - 802
After - 782
so it saves about 20 `mov` instructions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
