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.
