doc: Make whatisRCU.rst note that spinlocks are 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 in that case the locking primitives contain rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(). Therefore, upgrade whatisRCU.rst to document this non-obvious case. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>
