To be more explicit: P has two children, so we select the next entry,
SL, as its substitute. Since SL doesn't have a right child we select its
parent, S.

If SL were to represent a subtree with a right child, then we'd select
that, lets call it SLR. SLR would then end up being a direct descendant
of S, and hence rb_augment_path(SLR) would still pass S on its way up.
