rbtree: use READ_ONCE in RB_EMPTY_ROOT
With commit d72da4a4 ("rbtree: Make lockless searches non-fatal") our rbtrees provide weak guarantees that allows us to do lockless (and very speculative) reads of the tree. Such readers cannot see partial stores on nodes, ie left/right as well as root. As such, similar to the WRITE_ONCE semantics when doing rotations, use READ_ONCE when checking the root node in RB_EMPTY_ROOT.
