able to add an entry without parent

The addition of an entry that does not have parent is
permitted when adding as the rootdn.
(back-bdb/add.c:287 back-ldbm/add.c:240)
RFC2251 says the parent MUST exist and hence
it seems that !be_is_root() checking should be removed.
Does anyone know of reasons not to remove this ?
