radix-tree: move rcu_head into a union with private_list
I want to be able to reference node->parent after freeing node. Currently node->parent is in a union with rcu_head, so it is overwritten when the node is put on the RCU list. We know that private_list is not referenced after the node is freed, so it is safe for these two members to share space.
