So back when I did this work there was resistance to making the regular RB-tree primitives more expensive for the rare RCU user. And I suspect that this is still so.
Now, rb_replace_node() isn't a widely used primitive, so it might go unnoticed, but since we already have rb_link_node_rcu() adding rb_replace_node_rcu() is the consistent thing to do.

Yep, that's about right.
