Paul E. McKenney 120311acb0 doc: Spinlocks are implied RCU readers
In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=n, spinlock critical sections
are RCU readers because they disable preemption.  However, they are also
RCU readers in CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y because the -rt locking primitives
contain rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock().  Therefore, upgrade
rcu_dereference.rst to document this non-obvious case.
