tools: memory-model: Document that the LKMM can easily miss control dependencies

Add a small section to the litmus-tests.txt documentation file for
the Linux Kernel Memory Model explaining that the memory model often
fails to recognize certain control dependencies.

 	carrying a dependency, then the compiler can break that dependency
 	by substituting a constant of that value.
 
+	Conversely, LKMM sometimes doesn't recognize that a particular
+	optimization is not allowed, and as a result, thinks that a
+	dependency is not present (because the optimization would break it).
+	The memory model misses some pretty obvious control dependencies
+	because of this limitation.  A simple example is:
+
+		r1 = READ_ONCE(x);
+		if (r1 == 0)
+			smp_mb();
+		WRITE_ONCE(y, 1);
+
+	There is a control dependency from the READ_ONCE to the WRITE_ONCE,
+	even when r1 is nonzero, but LKMM doesn't realize this and thinks
+	that the write may execute before the read if r1 != 0.  (Yes, that
+	doesn't make sense if you think about it, but the memory model's
+	intelligence is limited.)

 2.	Multiple access sizes for a single variable are not supported,
 	and neither are misaligned or partially overlapping accesses.
