mnt_ns_tree_remove(): DTRT if mnt_ns had never been added to mnt_ns_list

Actual removal is done under the lock, but for checking if need to bother
the lockless RB_EMPTY_NODE() is safe - either that namespace had never
been added to mnt_ns_tree, in which case the the node will stay empty, or
whoever had allocated it has called mnt_ns_tree_add() and it has already
run to completion.  After that point RB_EMPTY_NODE() will become false and
will remain false, no matter what we do with other nodes in the tree.
