lib/rbtree.c: fix typo in comment of ____rb_erase_color

In Case 3 of `sibling == parent->rb_right':

Right rotation will not change color of sl and S in the diagram
(i.e. should not change "sl" to "Sl", "S" to "s")

In Case 3 of `sibling == parent->rb_left':

     (p)           (p)
     / \           / \
    S   N    -->  sr  N
   / \           /
  Sl  sr        S
               /
              Sl

  This is actually left rotation at "S", not right rotation.

In Case 4 of `sibling == parent->rb_left':

     (p)             (s)
     / \             / \
    S   N     -->   Sl  P
   / \                 / \
  sl (sr)            (sr) N

  This is actually right rotation at "(p)" + color flips, not left
  rotation + color flips.
