documentation: Update RCU requirements based on expedited changes
Because RCU-sched expedited grace periods now use IPIs and interact
with rcu_read_unlock(), it is no longer sufficient to disable preemption
across RCU read-side critical sections that acquire and hold scheduler
locks. It is now necessary to instead disable interrupts. This commit
documents this change.
