[RFC PATCH 3/3] tools/rbtree: fix null pointer dereference in erase

[Heiher]

a null pointer dereference in erasing the root node of below tree.

Tree structure:
                   (1)[2]
                  /   \
               (2)[1]  (3)[4]
                      /
                   (4)[3]

(n): Insert order
[n]: Key value or key order
